Customization for Your Unique Journey
Your journey is personal, and so should be your surroundings. Energy art allows for a level of customization that goes beyond aesthetics. Together, we can curate pieces that resonate with your values, aspirations, and personal energy. It’s art tailored not just to your space but to your unique journey.
Energy art from the “Stories of the Past” collection and Edesign by Mary Ann Benoit. This is a great collection to go with your antiques or in a historic home. Have you considered how many of the stories you carry with you that guide your life are actually yours, and which ones belong to others and have been passed on to you? Which have come from your parents or ancestors? Why continue to carry them if they are not yours?
Bridging Aesthetics and Energetic Qualities
Who says personal growth can’t be stylish? Energy art seamlessly bridges aesthetics and energetic qualities, creating a visual tapestry that is not only pleasing to the eye but also resonant with positive energy. Your home becomes a canvas for both beauty and self-discovery.
This design highlights a beautiful fractal art piece called “The Shiny Ones” which inspires people to shine their light, and be their authentic selves to make the world a better place. See it on the wall mural and chairs. Energy art and Edesign by Mary Ann Benoit.

Saturday Night Live Art Shows- “Prosperity” Energy Art and Edesign
Welcome to Saturday Night Live Art Shows!
I hope you enjoy my new collection, “Prosperity”, that was inspired by an intention that I set with a fellow artist. Our intention was that our art would serve as a powerful catalyst for connecting people, and fostering prosperity in the lives of both the creators and recieves the art. The idea inspired this AI/fractal art collage, showing a woman recieving the gift of prosperity through art. It is overlayed with fractal art hearts from my “Path with Heart” collection, adding the energy of living a path with heart and being who you are truly meant to be. It also has a fractal overlay from my “Outside/Inside” collection, helping inspire you to maintain your inner peace, regardless of what is happening on the outside. These are hard to see, but add submliminal messages to uplift and support you.
I thought an office space would be a perfect place to have art that attracts prosperity, so I designed this space with the art as the foundation for the energy and colors. This is a great example of how art can transform the energy around you and serve as the foundation for your Interior Design.
Raise the vibe in your space today. Great design starts with energy. Surround yourself with art that reminds you what is important and enhances the energy of your space and your potential. When your space is better, you are better. When you are better, the world is better. The world needs you.

What is Energy Art?
Energy art is a dynamic fusion of mediums, capturing the essence of movement, emotion, force and ideas. It ranges from kinetic sculptures that dance with motion, paintings that pulse with life through vibrant colors and strokes, to melodies that resonate with the energy of sound and rhythm. Whether it’s a dancer expressing life with each move or art installations powered by the sun or magnetism, energy art is a testament to the boundless creative spirit harnessing and reflecting energy in many forms.
Heartfire #9 uses color, light and movement to express the elements of fire and the emotion of taking a path with heart that you are passionate about.
Energy art is a way for artists to portray the vibrant and ever-present forces that animate our world. From ancient civilizations to modern interpretations, artists have continuously sought to express these dynamic energies, creating pieces that resonate through time.

Types of Energy Art
Energy art is a broad concept that can encompass various forms and techniques, each aiming to capture, convey, or manipulate intangible energies. Here are some types or approaches to energy art:
Intuitive Art: Created while tapping into one’s subconscious, often without a premeditated plan or outline, allowing the energy of the moment to guide the creative process.
Reiki-infused Art: Some artists combine Reiki, a form of energy healing, with their artistic process to create pieces infused with healing energy.
Sacred Geometry: Incorporating patterns, shapes, and symbols that are believed to represent the blueprint of the universe, such as the Flower of Life or Metatron’s Cube.
Mandala Art: Mandalas are intricate designs starting from a central point and emanating outward, symbolizing the universe, wholeness, or unity.
Chakra Art: Art that targets or represents the body’s energy centers, or chakras, often using colors or symbols associated with each chakra.
Kinetic Art: Art that involves movement, whether powered by wind, motor, or human interaction. The movement can be said to manifest or manipulate energy in the space it occupies.
Fractal Art: Using mathematical algorithms, artists create self-repeating patterns that resemble patterns found in nature, often capturing the essence of infinite energy.
Soundscapes: Although primarily auditory, this form of art uses sound frequencies that resonate with the body’s energy centers or help harmonize the energies in a given space.
Crystal Art: Incorporating crystals and gemstones known for specific energy properties into artwork.
Light Art: Harnessing the power of light, both natural and artificial, to affect the energy of a space.
Digital Energy Art: With evolving technologies, artists can now create digital pieces or visualizations that represent or influence energy.
Interactive Installations: Art pieces that require interaction, absorbing, and sometimes reflecting the energy of the participant.
Ritualistic or Performance Art: The act of creating the art is a ritual in itself, calling upon specific energies or intentions.
Visionary Art: Often influenced by spiritual experiences, dreams, or trance states, this type of art seeks to represent the artist’s vision of spiritual or energetic realms.
While this is by no means an exhaustive list, it gives an idea of the diverse ways artists may approach the concept of energy in their work. The common thread is the intention behind the art – to connect with, convey, or manipulate unseen energies.
My Energy Art
From the list above, my energy art includes Intuitive Art, Sacred Geometry (fractal art), Chakra Art, Fractal Art, Digital energy art (I use AI art combined with Fractal art in collages), and Visionary Art based on transformational/personal development.
My favorite medium lately is creating collages from AI art that is layered with fractal art, so that it layers many energy concepts into one piece.
Fractal Art
Fractal art, a type of art I love working with, employs mathematical algorithms to craft intricate and captivating patterns. These self-replicating designs often mirror the mesmerizing complexities seen in nature, resembling the structures found in plants and animals. The elegance of perfect fractal patterns captures the very essence of beauty itself.
“The Rose” fractal art by Mary Ann Benoit
Fractal art, a distinct branch of energy art, captures energy through intricate designs that exude depth, dynamism, and motion, echoing natural things like lightning strikes, flames, or undulating ocean waves. These self-replicating patterns can be seen in other art forms, such as music and dance, weaving in complex rhythms and mesmerizing sequences.
I create fractal art on my computer.I love working with the brilliant colors, interesting textures, and incredible detail. Learn more about how it is created in my Saturday Night Live Art Show, ” A Passion for Purple” where I show some videos of the process.
Energy Artists
An energy artist channels specific types or qualities of energy into their art, such as emotional, spiritual, or physical energy, by imbuing it with their intention.
They may employ materials, colors, or techniques recognized for their energetic attributes, or incorporate symbols and themes linked to distinct energy types. Spiritual practices, like meditation and visualization, can also be harnessed to infuse the art with energy.
I am an energy artist.
Raven Medicine energy art and Edesign by Mary Ann Benoit. Ravens are associated with magic and the unknown. Things we can learn from ravens are most importantly, to be open to magic, and notice when it happens around you. That means being present and aware of what is happening now, rather than in your head thinking of the millions of things you need to do:). Raven Medicine art in your home inspires you to be open to magic and the unknow, and the opportunites it brings for growth.
How Can Energy Art Help You?
Energy infused art can have a positive impact on you when you interact with it and can affect the energy of the space where it is displayed. While its tangible effects may be subtle and subjective, it’s important to remember that everything possesses energy. Every item in your space contributes to its energy, affecting your well-being. You have the power to curate this environment, choosing what influences you.
I infuse my fractal art with spiritual energy concepts using fractal art, vibrant color, symbols of ancient wisdom, meditation, and visualization. and allowing universal energy to come through me during the creation process. I set my intention using my personal energy for the piece to help someone in a specific way, and for the piece to attract the person who needs it. I craft art layers infused with intentional energy tailored to resonate with and uplift those who bring it into their space.
I firmly believe that if a piece of my art resonates with you, it’s because its energy aligns with what you need to embrace your true self. The synergy between your innate attraction to the artwork and the intentional energy I’ve embedded within it creates a potent energetic harmony in your space, amplifying the desired energy you seek.

Types of Energy Art I Create
I specialize in crafting two unique types of energy art.
Firstly, I develop energy art portraits, personalized depictions of your most authentic self, radiating your inner light. This serves as the foundation for your Interior Design, setting the tone for the entire space.
Secondly, I design energy art pieces that symbolize specific themes or concepts pivotal in your life journey. These art pieces, whether showcased as standalone art or integrated into home décor, are strategically placed to inspire you every time your gaze falls upon them.

Through this alignment, I ensure your space not only looks captivating but also deeply nurtures your well-being.

“Buzz and Flow” by artist Brooke Harker in an Edesign by Northern Lights Home Staging and Design.
Art’s energy in your space stems from three main elements:
The room’s designer, be it a professional interior designer or yourself, shapes the ambiance, setting the stage for the art.
The artist pours their emotions and interpretations into the artwork, giving it its unique vibrancy.
Lastly, you breathe life into the art, interpreting it through the lens of your own experiences and emotions.
Your selection of art determines the energy you want to surround yourself with.
How the Room Designer Affects the Energy of the Room
I created this Living Room Edesign to showcase the versatility of purple in Global Style designs. This is part of a series exploring how different Global Styles can be achieved using various colors. Global styles like Indian, Turkish, Mexican, Moroccan, Greek, and Bohemian are known for their vibrant hues, eco-friendliness, cultural treasures, and close ties to nature, making them perfect for gatherings.
This particular design represents a modern take on Global Style, offering a sleek, contemporary twist on Bohemian aesthetics. You can delve deeper into the world of global styles by exploring my other blog articles featuring purple, blue, green, red, and black-and-white palettes.
Purple, residing between red and blue on the color wheel, embodies qualities of both neighbors. Like blue, it exudes calm and relaxation, reminiscent of wildflowers found in nature. At the same time, it can ignite passion and energy akin to red. Darker shades often evoke a sense of wisdom.
Purple carries rich symbolism, from status and royalty to spirituality and creativity. Its versatility allows it to resonate with a broad audience, making it a complex and intriguing color.
I’ve designed this space, setting the stage for art to infuse its unique energy. As each artist contributes their perspective through their work, we’ll witness how the room’s energy evolves and transforms
How the Artist Affects the Energy of the Room
I selected art from two of my favorite artists, Brooke Harker and Joan Marie of Joan Marie Art, and picked a piece from their websites that I thought worked with the colors and scale of my design. I also designed some of my own fractal art to go in the room.
Let’s see how the art changes the feeling of the room for you, the viewer, and how it relates to the energy and meaning the artist was inspired by when they created it.
Feeling the energy of visual images is the
language of the subconscious mind.

I am a historian of the ordinary.” Brooke Harker.
Brooke says, “This is one of my favorite paintings I ever created. I selected the magenta color as it reminded me of the energy of a friend who celebrated life vividly. I put elements in the piece that fascinated me such as a single woman walking in stride or a taxi”.

When I am creating the painting I am in them and they seem larger than life. They always feel so small comparatively when they are done and on a canvas.
“Buzz and Flow” by artist Brooke Harker in and Edesign by Northern Lights Home Staging and Design.
I selected this piece for the room because of the high energy and the color, not knowing the meaning behind it from Brooke’s perspective,
As soon as I put it in this room, I felt it added a sense of vibrant, high energy that you might feel on the streets of a large bustling city where all the people brought the energy of their lives as they walked by.
Yet, the purple walls seemed to contain it with a sense of calmness. As if life can seem chaotic and wild all around us, but if we just step back, it is all small stuff in the big picture of things.
I asked Brooke how she felt about the energy of her painting in this room. She said it evoked a sense of curiosity.
How does it make you feel?
Brooke Harker
Brooke Harker is a contemporary artist based in Los Angeles, California. Her lively paintings of cities and coastal scenes are characterized by energetic brushstrokes in ink and thick oil paint applied with palette knives. These vibrant depictions of daily life capture a sense of motion and highlight moments of synchronicity. Brooke calls herself a ” historian of the ordinary.” Learn more about Brooke and see her work on her website.
“OoGenesis” by Joan Marie Art
I love the colors in this painting and selected it for the room because the colors worked with purple and it seemed so vibrant and joyful.
In my previous career, I was a wildlife biologist, and it reminded me of a super colorful version of a cell getting ready to divide and create new life. It felt like joyful colorful energy about to explode with possibilities. It just glows with joyous energy on the wall.
“Oogenesis” by Joan Marie Art
When I asked Joan about the story behind the painting, she said it is “the birth of a new world, the uniting of colors, all holding hands in unity.”
“Oogenesis”, was named by Joan Marie’s husband after she told him the meaning behind the painting.
“Oogenesis” by Joan Marie Art and Edesign by Northern Lights Home Staging and Design.
I asked Joan how she felt about the energy of her painting in this room. She said ” it takes me to a peaceful mystical world of well-being and magical possibilities. Just beautiful!”

“A Passion for Purple” by Mary Ann Benoit
I created a set of three fractal art pieces specifically for this room, which I call “A Passion for Purple”.
Fractal art is digital art I create on my computer. I love the spiral and curved shapes, fine textures, and vibrant colors. Creating fractal art is like traveling through a kaleidoscope that has no beginning or end. When traveling, you find a place you want to stop and stay awhile. The art I create is that place.
“A Passion for Purple” Fractal Art by Mary Ann Benoit “A Passion for Purple 2” Fractal Art by Mary Ann Benoit “A Passion for Purple 3” Fractal Art by Mary Ann Benoit
I wanted my art to reflect the complexity of purple so that it was calm, yet vibrant, mysterious, spiritual, and elegant at the same time.
I love the way the dark rich purple colors really ground the room, yet the light purple glows with serene energy. It feels very calming, yet vibrant and mysterious as well, as if it has the secret to some ancient wisdom.

What is Your Sense of This Room

My guess is that you had your own unique ideas about the energy you experienced in the room because you brought your unique perspective.
That is the beauty of art and design. There are so many possibilities!

Edesign and fractal art home decor by Northern Lights Home Staging and Design
Birds provide endless inspiration for creating beautiful designs with the intricate patterns, colors, and textures of their feathers!
Flat Lay #1- The Forest
In my article Birds of a Feather- What Birds Can Teach Us About Designing the Perfect Room, I shared a design for the first flat lay, inspired by realistic photo art of Pintail duck and eagle feathers. I designed a room with a calm and earthy feeling that reminds me of being in the forest using the feather art and colors of nature.
Flat lay and Edesign by Northern Lights Home Staging and Design

Flat Lay #2- Bohemian Meets Hollywood Glam
The second flat lay, evoked a much more glamorous style and feeling, like a cross between Modern Global Style and Hollywood Glam. I developed several ideas capturing the drama and glamour with different color walls.
Flat lay and Edesign by Northern Lights Home Staging and Design. Edesign by Northern Lights Home Staging and Design. Edesign by Northern Lights Home Staging and Design.
Flat Lay #3- A Time for Whimsy- Let’s Fly
The third flat lay to me evoked a sense of whimsy and playfulness, filled with color and the sense that you can take flight and soar to any place you want to go.
As in Flat Lay #2, the feathers are stylized rather than realistic, and more colorful and playful than the gold and black feathers. Even though it has a sense of fun and whimsy, it also feels calm and relaxing with the blues and greens.
I designed two living rooms. One uses wallpaper and is more light and airy yet has texture. The deep blue wall adds more drama with the darker, rich blue.

Saturday Night Live Art Shows-Aligned Energy Art- “Attachments”
https://youtu.be/XWjoUW9XyWA
Welcome to Saturday Night Live Art Shows ! I am Mary Ann Benoit and am with you tonight from Seward Alaska! So excited to be with you tonight to share some of my new Aligned Energy Art,, called “Attachments”, and three fractal art pieces I would like to share.
Be sure to check out all the other artists from around the world, having art shows in their Facebook and social media feeds at 6-9 pm in their time zones. Follow Saturday Night Live Art Shows on Facebook by searching #snlartshows.
Introducing “Attachments” Aligned Energy Art
Budda said “the root of suffering is attachment”.
I learned from my teacher Jim Fortin, that the biggest cause of suffering in our lives comes from our attachments, or expectations of the way we think things should be. When we don’t get what we want or how we want it, we are unhappy. Maybe we can release attachment to the idea of how things should be and just allow them to be what they are.
If they are not how we want or expect, maybe that is a good thing that is opening the door for something more wonderful to come into our lives.
This art was inspired by the energy of attachment in our lives and all the chords that bind us to the outcomes we expect and want.
As you can see, there are chords of attachment between every part of the design, creating one interconnected whole.

Although the greens and blues are colors of nature and often are calming and relaxing colors, these pieces have a sense of high energy because of all the endless linkages.
As I usually do, I created 2 more pieces to go with it, so you can see the movement between pieces and use three together over a sofa t create a focal point in a room.

How can you use Aligned Energy Art in your space?
If the message of “Attachments”, or future concepts I plan to create resonate with you, then adding art that is meaningful as well as beautiful is a great way to create your perfect space and remind yourself of what is important in your life each day when you see it.
Art like “Attachments” can be added to your living room, meditation, or workout area or wherever your intuition guides you to put it.
Because this art is digital, it can also be put on a variety of home decor products such as pillows, bedding, serving trays, coffee mugs, notebooks, and more. So you could think about “Attachments” as you sip your morning coffee out of a “Attachments” coffee mug while writing things you want to release your “Attachments” journal, for example, drinking out of your travel cup on the way to work or doing yoga on a “Attachments” mat.
Aligned Energy Art is another layer of meaning beyond the visual beauty in creating your perfect space that is aligned with who you want to be.
An Example
I created this Edesign, or virtual design as an example of how you could create a space using this art and express the energy of “Attachments” in your space. Note the “Attachments” fractal art on the framed canvases on the wall, the serving tray on the coffee table, the pillow on one of the chairs, and the place settings on the table.
Your selection of art determines the energy you want to surround yourself with.

What is Fractal Art?
Fractal art is digital art I create on my computer. I love creating fractal art because it allows me to work with brilliant colors, interesting textures, and incredible detail. of the process. See examples at my store on Society 6 or Pixels.com. I also create mosaics of AI art and fractal art. See some examples in the video below.

Birds provide endless inspiration for creating beautiful designs with the intricate patterns, colors, and textures of their feathers!
In my article Birds of a Feather- What Birds Can Teach Us About Designing the Perfect Room, I shared some ideas for one of those flat lays inspired by realistic photo art of Pintail duck and eagle feathers. I designed a room with a calm and earthy feeling that reminds me of being in the forest using the feather art and colors of nature.

This second flat lay, to me, evoked a much more glamorous style and feeling, like a cross between Modern Global Style and Hollywood Glam.

I am not sure what bird the feathers in the photo came from, but the art is less realistic and more stylized. The black and gold color combination felt very luxurious, and like a great place to add a variety of metallic finishes.
The natural theme of bird feathers still evoked a sense of nature, inviting wood, stone, and natural materials such as velvet, leather, and cotton. I selected green, which is a wonderful color of nature, for the fabrics and added plants.
I decided to create a living room, that was dark and moody, with black or deep chocolate walls, and lots of different gold-tone metals. Dramatic lighting enhances the art and brings out the shine of the various brass and gold-toned lights and accessories.
Instead of the photo in the flat lay, I found several other art prints of feathers in black and gold that I used as inspiration.
I could see this combination in a living room, master bedroom, master bathroom, or powder room. How about you?
I decided to try a living room. A flat lay can first evolve into a drawing or floor plan to get a feel for how the room will work spatially.

To get the feeling of drama and glamour, I decided to try the idea of a black wall. I love it! It beautifully highlights the feather art and sets off the beautiful greens in the furniture. Of course, lighting, strategically placed and lots of it, is important when using black.

For variety, I tried a textured light-colored wallpaper similar in color to the feathers to give the room a more light and airy feeling. I think I like the black better for a glamorous feeling.

And here is it in a shade of off-white. While still pretty, I like the black walls best, and the feeling of dimension the textured wallpaper gives over the white walls. How about you?
The moral of this flat lay tale is that you can use natural elements like bird feathers to inspire glamorous, dramatic, modern, and sleek designs while still bringing the outdoors in. And, don’t be scared to use black!
Bird feathers can inspire many design styles. Look for my next article on the design for my third flat lay inspired by bird feathers.

Saturday Night Live Art Shows- Globally Inspired, Soulfully Aligned- Turkish Style
Welcome to Saturday Night Live Art Shows. “Globally Inspired, Soulfully Aligned” is The New Design Frontier.
This is about creating global style interiors with my Aligned Design philosphy. It captivates Global Design’s worldly charm with Aligned Design’s holistic approach to create external beauty and internal harmony.
In this show I show you how I created an Edesign that is aesthetically pleasing and soulfully enriching. In creating your perfect space, energy is the foundation of everything.
The energy of Turkish style is deeply rooted in its rich cultural heritage, reflecting it’s position at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. Turkish interiors harmonize Byzantine, Ottoman, Persian, and Central Asian influences, giving it a wonderful exotic feeling. Turkish style is known for it;s beautiful rugs, lighting, and symbolism including tulips, the evil eye, and fish.
My art captures that energy and those symbols.
My designs are collages of AI and layers of fractal energy art, reflecting Turkish style and supportive energy messages. See my art on the wall and chairs of my Edesign. This art is infused with layers to inspire you to live on the path with heart, and to release attachments to what you do not need. Some of the art is hard to see but it is there, with subliminal messages. Even if you don’t see it, your brain does.
Raise the vibe in your space today. Great design starts with energy. Surround yourself with art that reminds you what is important and enhances the energy of your space and your potential. When your space is better, you are better. When you are better, the world is better. The world needs you.
My unique Interior Design philosophy combines The ART of beauty The SCIENCE of color The ENERGY of well-being. Art + Science + Energy = Magic.

Globally Inspired and Soulfully Aligned is a New Design Frontier. I have created a collection of collages created with AI and fractal energy art that combine Global Design styles worldly charm with the energy, alignment and emotional nurturing of my Aligned Design’s holistic approach. It’s a marriage of external beauty and internal harmony, ensuring that your surroundings are not just aesthetically pleasing but also soulfully enriching.
Each piece has subliminal energy messages from layers of fractal art designed to uplift and support you. My Heart of Morocco collection includes four layers from my Path with Heart collection and also my Attachments of the Heart Design.
My Path with Heart series emphasizes “All paths lead to the same place in the end. The important thing is that you pick a path with heart, do what you love, and enjoy the journey.” If you look closely, you will see numerous hearts from this collection throughout the design.
Each piece is also overlayed with my “Attachments of the Heart” design. The meaning of this piece is “Buddha said “the root of suffering is attachment”. The biggest cause of suffering in our lives comes from our attachments, or expectations of the way we think things should be.When we don’t get what we want or how we want it, we are unhappy. Attachments of the heart to our lovers, family, pets, and friends are often the hardest attachments to release. The key is to love, but not be attached to the outcome. Let it be what it is”.
While you may not see this large heart because of the transparancy of the design, and you may not notice all the small hearts, the subliminal message still comes through. The message is to live the path with heart without being attached to things for maximum well-being.
What is Turkish Style?
Turkish style is warm and inviting, earthy and exotic. There is an abundance of warm earth tones with pops of beautiful color. lots of patterns and texture and there is a slightly more rustic feel. It is simple, soft and relaxing.
The energy of Turkish style interior design is deeply rooted in its rich cultural heritage, reflecting the country’s position at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, bridging diverse civilizations over the millennia.
Learn more about the details of Turkish style in my article “Get the Look- Turkish Style Interior Design”.
