Learn More About How Energy Art Can Change Your Life
Fractal art, as highlighted in the podcast, exemplifies one facet of energy art. Energy art is artwork created with the intention of expressing, conveying, or harnessing specific energies or emotions. It often aims to evoke or enhance particular feelings, moods, or states of being in those who experience the art
Energy art serves multiple purposes:
It created a beautiful portrait of your authentic self when you are shining the light of who you truly are.
It lays the cornerstone for the interior design of your room or home.
It embellishes your design with complementary home decor, imparting that perfect finishing touch.
The video below shows energy art I have created using AI and fractal art in combination or fractal art alone, which create the foundation for Interior Designs highlighting different energy concepts.

Ready to shine your light? Intrigued about what your own energy might look like? Interested in giving an extremely meaningful gift of a portrait to a friend or family member? Get your own energy art portrait today.
When you fuse art, science, and energy in your design, magic happens. And trust me, it’s simpler than waiting for the stars to align!
The perfect piece of art doesn’t just beautify a room—it anchors it, delighting the eye, dictating the color theme, and setting the room’s energy. Changing the art can change the energy of your room. Let art breathe life into your home.
While ‘energy’ might sound intangible, you’ll recognize its presence the moment you step into a room. Everything in your space, tangible and intangible, is woven from this energy. And don’t we all want our rooms to not just look, but also feel spectacular?
I am also an energy artist, and my designs include custom energy art and home decor that ties your design together, creating beauty, harmonizing your colors and reminding you what is important to you. I create art specifically to support you.
Your perfect space is key to your well-being.
Imagine a space that looks great, feels great, and supports you to be great.
“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.

“Buzz and Flow” by Brooke Harker
The painting “Buzz and Flow” by Brooke Harker, is a 66 x 45 ink, oil & acrylic on canvas. Brooke painted this image of Hong Kong.
“Buzz and Flow” by Brooke Harker
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!”

It takes me to a peaceful mystical world of well-being and magical possibilities. Just beautiful!”. Joan Marie Art.
How about you, how do you feel when you see Joan Marie’s art in this room?
Joan Marie of Joan Marie Art
Joan’s art is filled with radiant colors and explosive energy in which she transforms energy in a magical mix of techniques. She embeds positive subliminal messages into the intricate details of her work. She believes we have the opportunity to choose what we create, whether choosing a piece of art or our lives.

“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
Now you know the energy that was behind the room design, the color purple, the different art and even how some of us felt about the room with the different art pieces.
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!
If you are working with a designer, be sure to collaborate closely when you select your art and consider the energy of the room.

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.
“Attachments” fractal art by Mary Ann Benoit of Northern Lights Home Staging and Design
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.
“Attachments 2” fractal art by Mary Ann Benoit of Northern Lights Home Staging and Design “Attachments 3” fractal art by Mary Ann Benoit of Northern Lights Home Staging and Design
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.
How do you want to feel?
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.

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.
See my Turkish style collection here. Learn more about Turkish style in my blog article, Get the Look-Global Style- Turkish #2. See my “Globally Inspired, Soulfully Aligned” collection here. See all my AI/ fractal art here.
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”.
“Heart of turkey” Aligned Energy Art
Everything is energy. The energy of your space affects how you feel and can support you in reaching your potential. Energy art can serve as the basis for the design of the room, and how it feels. My “Heart of Turkey” energy art serves as the foundation for the style, colors and energy of this Edesign of a living room.

What is Energy Art and How Can it Change Your Life?
Dive into my digital art world, where AI and Fractal art merge into a visually stunning and energetically supportive tapestry. Using language as a tool, I guide the AI to align with my artistic vision, then blend in energy-infused fractal art layers. My computer screen becomes a canvas, showcasing a dance of AI imagery and mesmerizing fractal patterns. More than just visual delight, each piece carries an energy message, some of it subliminal, infused with positive vibes tailored to resonate with its viewer. This exploration pushes digital art boundaries, merging meaning and energy. My artwork, rich in color and detail, serves as an invitation to a transformative experience, aiming to uplift and align with your true self.
Art possesses a transformative power. Consider embracing symbols like the spiral, which energetically align with you. When curating art for your space, reflect on its significance. Why is it your choice? Beyond its hues, forms, and designs, does it resonate with a memory, emotion, journey, or a cherished individual? Dive deeper than aesthetics; connect with its essence and the personal narrative it brings into your space.
As an artist who creates the art for your space, the meaning behind what I create is important to me. I usually create abstract art that is not about a specific person, place or event but is more about the colors, shapes and feeling that it evokes. Some shapes are more meaningful than others and tend to draw you into creating more and more with the same shape. I find that much of my work revolves around spirals.
Spirals are prevalent in nature, in a beautiful sea shell, the unfolding of a new fern, the shape of a pine cones or the petals of a flower.

Spirals are meaningful cultural and religious symbols. They often symbolize connection to God and universal energy, and can represent harmony, beginnings, focus, a journey, direction, and progress. The spiral progression is symbolic of the route to a higher level of consciousness.
In some Native American cultures, the spiral is a sacred symbol of birth, rebirth and personal power, a metaphor for personal vision and enlightenment. They honor the grouse as a symbol of the sacred spiral, because the grouse does a spiral dance.
It can represent growth and evolution, eternity and continuity and is one of the most common symbols found among petroglyphs created by ancient or primitive peoples.
The whirling dervishes of some Sufi orders are masters of the spiral dance or whirling which they use to transcend to higher states of awareness and connect to God.
Spirals are important in great design, from the Mona Lisa to the Pyramids. The spiral is an example of the Golden Ratio which is a mathematical ratio. When used in a design, it fosters organic and natural-looking compositions that are aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The ratio is even used to create music masterpieces.

Even the Milky Way, the galaxy that includes Earth and our solar system – is an example of a spiral galaxy. We live in one big, beautiful spiral.
That’s one powerful shape.

In summary, the spiral is a symbol that has been used in art across cultures and epochs. Its meaning can vary based on context, culture, and the artist’s intention.
Life Cycle & Growth: Spirals often represent life cycles, growth, and evolution. They can symbolize the journey of life from birth to death or the natural progression and transformation of life.
Connection to the Universe: In many ancient cultures, spirals symbolize the cosmos or a spiritual journey. They can represent the vastness of the universe or the interconnectedness of all life.
Eternal Life: Due to its never-ending pattern, the spiral can symbolize eternity and immortality.
Change & Development: Spirals can represent the idea of expansion, change, and development. It can be about personal growth or the evolution of a concept or idea.
Feminine Energy: In certain contexts, the spiral is symbolic of the womb and fertility, representing feminine energy and birth.
Natural Phenomena: The spiral is often seen in nature, such as in the patterns of shells, galaxies, or the way water whirls. As such, artists might use it to represent nature, mathematics, or the golden ratio.
Journey & Progression: Spirals can also symbolize a journey, be it a spiritual, personal, or physical one. It can denote progression, taking a path, and continuously moving forward.
Mysticism & Rituals: Spirals have been used in various rituals and religious symbols. They can indicate deeper knowledge, mysticism, or a connection to the divine.
In art, the meaning of the spiral can be personal to the artist and the energy they have infused into it, or the viewer.
When viewing spiral art, consider the context in which it was created to fully understand its intended significance.
Art with Power
“The Spiral” Energy Art
As an energy artist creating spirals, my intention is that the spiral is a symbol of personal transformation for you. Each piece inspires and uplifts you to be in alignment with who you truly are.
Everything is Energy. The spiral represents the energy of evolution, life, consciousness, and creation. Since ancient times it has been a symbol of growth and transformation. The spiral in your space is a reminder and invitation to shed your old skin and become something new.
This “Spiral”series is dedicated to Jim Fortin, who inspires us to transform and be our best selves. See my Saturday Night Live Art Show on this series.

“Infinity” Spiral Energy Art
My “Infinity” collection is a reminder that everything is energy including every object in your home, and the people, animals, plants, furniture, etc. Is the energy harmonious like an orchestra playing together or chaotic like an orchestra tuning up? A home that feels great has harmonious energy. Your art plays a big part in that. How is your energy evolving and what is it creating?
See my Saturday Night Live Art Show highlighting my “Infinity” series.

“Yin/Yang” Spiral Energy Art
This series inspires balance. Yin is female energy, and Yang is male energy. We all have, and need both, to get things done. Are you an over-doer of all the things? Try focusing less on masculine doing and more on feminine receiving. Yin receives ideas and inspiration. Yang puts the ideas into action. Yin receives the rewards of your actions. Yang takes the action and celebrates. Balance is the key to happiness. As above, so below. As within, so without. See my Yin/Yang collection here.

Improving Your Health and Well-Being with Energy Art and Interior Design
What one thing do you wish you had more of in life? Most people will probably pick one of the following; wealth, health. love or spirituality. What is it for you?
Is Health the Top Thing You Want More of in Life?
There are five main aspects of personal health: physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and intellectual. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and proper sleep can enhance physical health, while mindfulness, self-care practices, therapy, and social connections can support mental well-being.
Interior design with energy art as a foundation can support personal alignment with who you truly are and inspire, support and attract these things into your life.
My energy art is a unique blend of fractal and AI-enhanced designs, and serves as the bedrock of my Aligned Design (interior design) approach. It not only makes your space more beautiful and serves as a foundation for your design and color scheme — it channels and magnifies personal alignment, guiding you to your authentic self. By embedding this art in your surroundings, you naturally enhance attracting health, as well as wealth, love, and spiritual enrichment.
Some Causes of Health Issues
Are You “At Ease” with Yourself?
Often health issues arise when we are not at ease with who we are, or the results that mirror this in our lives, and “disease” follows. This can come from:
Chronic Stress: Long-term stress can lead to serious illnesses.
Negative Emotions: Holding onto negative feelings can weaken the immune system.
Lack of Self-Care: Not taking care of yourself properly can cause health problems.
Unhealthy Relationships: Bad relationships or feeling alone can lead to mental health issues.
Unfulfilled Life: Living an unauthentic life can cause chronic stress and health problems.
Resources for Positive Change
Change involves reflection, effort, and honesty. Three resources I have used in my own life effectively are:
Energy Art: This can remind you daily of your growth journey. Support yourself with Transformation or Becoming energy art in your space.
Coaching Programs: Programs like TCP with Jim Fortin help with personal development.
Podcasts: Jim Fortin’s free podcast offers helpful advice for personal transformation.

Are You in Alignment?
Being in alignment means doing what you are truly passionate about, irrespective of monetary gain. It’s about expressing your unique vision to the world and positively impacting others’ lives, creating expansion for others and yourself.
When we are not aligned with our work and engage in tasks we dislike or solely for the money, it can have a negative impact on our mental and physical health. Such a mismatch between our true desires and the work we do can lead to stress, dissatisfaction, and overall reduced well-being.
We can get in alignment when we live on a path with heart, doing the things that bring fulfillment and joy, and this positively influences our mental and physical health.

Unlocking Self-Love: Beyond the Need for Overdoing
Many people take on more tasks and responsibilities, or “overdo”, in the hope of earning love or approval from others. However, this can often lead to stress and exhaustion, and it’s not a sustainable or healthy way to gain self-worth.
True self-worth comes from within, not from the validation of others. It’s important to learn to love and approve of ourselves, embracing our strengths and accepting our weaknesses. When we find love and approval within ourselves, we no longer feel the need to overdo things for others’ acceptance. We can then focus on fulfilling our own needs and desires, leading to a more balanced and content life.
When we define our worth based on others’ perceptions, we give away our power. Taking our power back involves:
Releasing Attachments: Let go of the need for validation from others. Your value is inherent and doesn’t rely on external approval.
Let Go of things that don’t serve you: Recognize habits that don’t serve you, like overworking. Replace these behaviors with things that do serve you instead.
Practicing Self-Care: Prioritize activities that nourish your mind and body. This can range from getting enough sleep, giving yourself quiet time or flowers, getting regular massages or walks or making time for hobbies you love.
Remember, your value comes from within, and the love and approval you seek should first and foremost come from yourself.
Support yourself by releasing unhealthy attachments and practices, and focusing on self-care, you start to regain control over your life and well-being.
How Energy Art Can Improve Your Health
Energy art, deeply rooted in the principles of harmony, frequency, and resonance, can be an influential tool for bolstering your health. How?
Balancing Energies: Everything in our universe vibrates at specific frequencies, including our bodies. Energy art can help harmonize these vibrations, creating a balanced environment that fosters well-being. Try my Yin/Yang and Qi energy art for balance.
Stress Reduction: The beauty of energy art can induce a sense of calm and tranquility, significantly reducing stress. As stress is a common precursor to many health issues, mitigating it can have profound health benefits. Energy art in blues and greens are calming. Try my Release, Attachments of the Heart, and Let it Go energy art.

Stimulating Positive Thoughts: Certain patterns and colors in energy art can evoke positive emotions, thoughts, and memories. These positive mental states can bolster mental health and, by extension, improve physical health. Try energy art in oranges, pinks and yellows. See my Optimistic Orange, Passionate Pinks, and Yellow-Stimulate Positive Thoughts for Health collections.

Encouraging Meditation and Mindfulness: Energy art can serve as a focal point for meditation, helping one concentrate and delve deeper into a meditative state. Regular meditation is linked to lowered blood pressure, reduced anxiety, and improved mental clarity.
Boosting Immune Function: Positive emotions and reduced stress, both of which can be facilitated by energy art, are known to have a strengthening effect on the immune system. This means better resistance to diseases and quicker recovery. Try art in my Metal Element and Crystal collections.
Enhancing Sleep Quality: A serene environment imbued with the calming influences of energy art can improve sleep patterns. Good sleep is a cornerstone of good health, aiding in healing, cognitive function, and emotional balance.
Improving Air Quality: If energy art incorporates natural elements or materials, it can also play a role in purifying the air, which is beneficial for respiratory health.
In essence, energy art is not just a feast for the eyes, but a nurturing force for the body and soul. When thoughtfully integrated into one’s living or working space, it can act as a consistent source of rejuvenation and holistic health.

Saturday Night Live Art Shows- Globally Inspired, Soulfully Aligned- Moroccan 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.
Moroccan style reflects the diverse culture of Arabs, Berbers, Europeans and African immigrants.
Warm and welcoming, it exudes a natural, historical, and spiritual depth. Both comforting and exotic, it appeals to all senses.
My designs are collages of AI and layers of fractal energy art, reflecting Moroccan style and supportive energy messages.
See my art on the walls 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.
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 Moroccan Style?
Moroccan style design is a melting pot of Andalusian, Berber, Persian, and many other cultural influences, resulting in a rich and distinct aesthetic. It’s renowned for its vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and luxurious textures.
Moroccan interior design is characterized by its warm, inviting, and multi-sensory experience, layered with historical and spiritual depth. It’s a style that doesn’t just look good – it feels good, enveloping inhabitants in an ambiance that’s both exotic and comforting.
Everything is energy. The energy of your space affects how you feel and can support you in reaching your potential. Energy art can serve as the basis for the design of the room, and how it feels. My “Heart of Morocco” energy art serves as the foundation for the style, colors and energy of this Edesign of a living room.

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.”

Energy art serves as a bridge between the tangible realm of design and the intangible energies that influence our emotions, behaviors, and inner truths. Here’s how energy art can assist in aligning you with your true self:
Resonance and Reflection: Energy art often resonates with viewers on a deep, personal level. Such art can reflect aspects of your subconscious or emotions, acting as a mirror to your inner world, helping you gain insights into your authentic self.
Shift in Energy: Energy Art, when infused with the energy of the artist, can shift the energy of a space. Being surrounded by energy-aligned art can aid in changing or enhancing your own vibrational frequency, thereby drawing you closer to alignment with your true self.
Catalyst for Meditation and Introspection: Energy art can be a focal point for meditation, offering an anchor for your thoughts. This can lead to profound self-awareness and understanding.
Stimulation of Positive Emotions: Energy artis intended to evoke specific feelings or states of being. Such positive stimulation can help clear mental and emotional blocks, guiding you to resonate more with your true feelings and desires.
Connection to Higher Realms: For those inclined spiritually, energy art can serve as a portal or connection to higher realms, spirit guides, or universal energies. This can be instrumental in understanding your life’s purpose or soul’s journey.
Enhancement of Healing: Energy art can catalyze healing—be it emotional, mental, or spiritual. This healing can strip away layers of trauma, pain, or societal conditioning, revealing the genuine self beneath.
Aid in Visualization: Such art can assist in visualizing goals, desires, or aspects of yourself you may wish to understand or manifest better.
Affirmations and Intentions: Many pieces of energy art come with specific intentions or affirmations. Regularly viewing and connecting with these affirmations can embed these positive messages deeper into one’s psyche, facilitating alignment with core values and beliefs.
In essence, energy art is a powerful tool that merges aesthetics, intention, and vibrational frequencies. When engaged with purposefully, it becomes more than just a visual treat—it transforms into a dynamic guide, leading you closer to understanding and embodying your authentic self.

How Can Energy Art Help Attract More Wealth, Health and Abundance?
Energy art, with its intentional fusion of aesthetics and vibrational resonance, serves as a conduit for positive energies and manifestations. Here’s how energy art might assist in drawing wealth, health, and love into one’s life:
Frequency Alignment for Wealth: The law of attraction says that like attracts like. By surrounding oneself with energy art that resonates with the frequency of abundance and prosperity, one might raise their personal vibration to match that of wealth, thus attracting financial opportunities and prosperity.
Promoting Health: Energy art, especially pieces designed to emanate calm, balance, and rejuvenation, can foster an environment of relaxation and positivity. This can reduce stress, a major culprit behind many health issues, and promote healing and well-being. Additionally, art pieces that resonate with vitality and vigor can serve as a daily reminder and motivator to pursue healthy habits.
Attracting Love: Energy art focused on love, compassion, and partnership can serve to open one’s heart and make them more receptive to giving and receiving love. The art can not only attract romantic love but can also strengthen familial bonds, friendships, and self-love. It acts as a visual representation of the love one wishes to manifest, making the intention clear and tangible.
4. Harmonizing Space: The placement of energy art can harmonize the flow of chi or energy in a space, based on principles similar to Feng Shui. A harmonized space is believed to remove blocks and make the flow of positive energies like wealth, health, and love smoother and more natural.
5. Stimulating Positive Thoughts and Actions: Being surrounded by energy art that embodies what you desire (be it wealth, health, or love) can serve as a daily affirmation. This can lead to more positive thoughts, which in turn can manifest in positive actions, decisions, and outcomes.
6. Cultivating Gratitude: Gratitude is a powerful magnet for abundance in all its forms. Energy art can serve as a reminder of the universe’s bounties and encourage a daily practice of gratitude, which in turn can attract even more to be grateful for.
“Gratitude” Energy Art and Edesign by Mary Ann Benoit.
7. Enhancing Connectivity: Energy art can promote a sense of connection—to oneself, to others, and to the universe. This connectivity can foster deeper relationships, better understanding of oneself (leading to better health choices), and a sense of abundance.
In essence, energy art becomes a tangible reflection of one’s intentions. By consciously interacting with and acknowledging these intentions through art, one is taking an active step toward manifesting the desires of wealth, health, and love in their life.

Saturday Night Live Art Shows- “It’s Just the Moon”- Adventures in AI.
Welcome to Saturday Night Live Art Shows. I’m Mary Ann Benoit, an energy artist and Interior Designer from Seward, Alaska.
Creativity and design happen in many ways. Explore what is possible.
AI or artificial intelligence is a great tool to bring your vision to life. Despite the name, it is not that smart. You need to have a creative vision, tell it what to do, and refine it until it is what you imagine.
I created these art designs in AI, mixed them with my fractal art, and created these Interior Designs. I love the results and energy they convey.
This collection is “It’s Just the Moon”. The moon affects the oceans, how does it affect you? When the energy around you seems crazy, don’t worry, it’s just the moon.
Raise the vibe in your space today. Great design starts with energy.
My art is a mixture of fractal art and AI, with numerous fractal art hearts, symbolizing living a path with heart.

What is AI and Fractal Art?
I created this digital art using a combination of AI (artificial intelligence) and Fractal on my computer. AI required using the right words to tell the computer what your artistic vision is, and then revising it over and over until it is close to my vision. Then I create fractal art using special software based on math. I overlay the fractal art images on the AI images. Each image has a special energy message meant to support you in your life. I infuse my energy to support you through the art during the creation process.
I love creating these mediums because it allows me to work with brilliant colors, interesting textures, and incredible detail.
Maximize Your Home’s Value: Why Online Professional Staging Beats DIY Every Time
Considering selling your home and tempted to handle the staging on your own to save money? While it’s possible, consulting a professional stager could significantly boost your final sale price. Expert insights can make all the difference.
Online home staging consultations open doors to collaborating with top-notch stagers, regardless of your location or the absence of local experts. Experience the magic of expert advice, no matter where you are.
Benefits of an Online Home Staging Consultation.
An online home staging consultation, as opposed to an in-person consultation, offers several distinct advantages:
Convenience: Clients can easily schedule sessions at times that work best for them, without needing to coordinate for a physical meeting.
Safety: Especially in situations where health concerns (like pandemics) are prevalent, online consultations reduce risks associated with personal interactions.
Accessibility: Clients from any geographic location can access top-notch professionals, not just those located nearby.
Cost-Effective: Often, online consultations can be less expensive as there are no travel expenses or time associated with commuting.
Flexibility: It’s easier to reschedule or adjust appointment times without the hassle of considering commute or travel disruptions.
Documentation: Virtual consultations can be recorded (with permission), allowing homeowners to review advice and instructions as needed.
Immediate Implementation: Clients can start making recommended changes right after the consultation.
Eco-friendly: Reduces carbon footprint as there’s no need for vehicular transportation.
Comfort: Being in the comfort of one’s own home can make the consultation less intimidating and more relaxed for some clients.
Efficiency: Digital tools can be employed during the consultation, like screen sharing, which can help in showing visuals, designs, or examples instantly.
However, it’s worth noting that while online consultations offer many benefits, in-person consultations can provide a tactile and immediate understanding of space, which might be preferred by some clients or specific projects.

Benefits of Doing a Home Staging Consultation with a Professional versus Self Staging
Home Staging by Northern Lights Home Staging and Design.
Opting for an online consultation with a professional stager, as opposed to self-staging based on personal preferences, has multiple advantages:
Expert Insight: Professional stagers have the training and experience to identify a home’s strengths and weaknesses, ensuring the best features are highlighted.
Objective View: Homeowners may be emotionally attached to their property and its decor. A professional provides an unbiased perspective, focusing on broad buyer appeal rather than personal tastes.
Cost-Effective: While there’s an upfront fee, investing in a professional consultation can lead to a higher sale price, often compensating for the initial outlay and reducing potential lost profits from price reductions.
Current Market Trends: Stagers are updated on the latest home design and buyer trends, ensuring the home appeals to the contemporary buyer’s preferences.
Space Optimization: A professional can suggest layouts and designs that make rooms appear larger and more functional, maximizing the potential of every space.
Resource Recommendations: Professional stagers often have a list of trusted vendors, from furniture rental companies to painters, which can be invaluable for homeowners.
Efficiency: Based on their experience, professional stagers can quickly identify solutions, saving homeowners time and effort.
Avoid Common Mistakes: Without professional guidance, homeowners might over-personalize or clutter spaces. Stagers help prevent such pitfalls.
Enhanced Online Appeal: In the digital age, property listings often start online. Stagers know how to create spaces that photograph well, increasing online interest.
Psychological Impact: Stagers understand the psychology of buyers and create spaces that evoke feelings of warmth, comfort, and potential.
Flexibility & Convenience: Online consultations can be scheduled at the homeowner’s convenience and provide actionable advice without the need for in-person visits.
Value Proposition: A well-staged home differentiates itself in the market, especially in areas with many similar property listings.
Boosts Confidence: Having the endorsement of a professional can boost a seller’s confidence in their property’s presentation during showings and open houses.
While self-staging might seem like a cost-saving approach, the expertise and insights of a professional stager, even in an online format, can yield a swifter sale and often a better return on investment.
