Meet your Spirit Guide



Having a physical, visual representation of one’s Spirit Guide is a wonderful way to establish and maintain the connection to the wisdom and guidance that your Guide imparts to you. It brings them closer to us and helps us to deepen the relationship. I am able to, with my metaphysical vision, see your Spirit Guide and I can then capture their likeness. I use a variety of media that includes alcohol ink and permanent markers to create a multimedia artwork. Sometimes I use my tablet to add to the artwork if it is in digital format. Never do I use AI in any form – all artwork is created by my own hand.
In addition to the artwork, there will also be a message from your Guide. While I work, a lot of information comes through and I will write down everything I receive and send that with the artwork.
A note on the format:
I can provide either a digital artwork or a physical artwork. Each artwork is always 100% original, made by my hands, and no AI is ever used. When the artwork is digital, it is a combination of physical and digital media. If you reside in Europe, you can choose between having a digital or physical artwork, which will be either be sent by post if you have chosen a physical artwork, or will it be emailed to you if it is a digital artwork. If you reside outside of Europe, the artwork will be sent to you digitally as exporting anything of value from Europe to the UK and the rest of the world is a very complicated and costly process.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you have questions about any stage of the process, please refer to the section below or feel free to contact me for more details.
Once we’ve made contact with each other and have made our “spiritual handshake”, my work can begin.
I enter a meditative state and get ready to connect to your Guide. I receive your Guide’s likeness and communications as impressions and images in my mind’s eye, and also colours, music and sometimes I feel quite strong emotions. Sometimes a name comes immediately, sometimes it only comes later on. I will then select the colours that have been in the impression and commence the artwork.
It takes a few hours to complete the artwork by hand and during this time, a lot of information comes through from your Guide, while I am painting and drawing. I write everything down on a piece of paper. The Guides often use imagery to communicate their messages and I interpret them into words to convey the message to you. In that way, I become the conduit and canvas for the messages.
Once the portrait artwork is complete, I then type up all the information and messages that had come through while I was creating the art. The written reading may include some advice or recommendations, or further steps to take on a certain matter in question. I then prepare the artwork and text to send to you. Everything I do is 100% free of any AI generated content. Everything is hand-made by me, especially for you.
To note: I can create the artwork on physical paper media or I can create it in digital format using a mixture of physical paper, photographing the artwork and combining it with drawing on my tablet. A physical drawing will be sent via mail, and a digital artwork will be emailed. I can send a physical drawing to a location in Spain or anywhere in Europe. Sending a physical drawing to the United Kingdom, the United States or anywhere else in the world involves relatively high cost and a lot paperwork in the form of custom declarations and the like. You may have to pay additional taxes on the parcel when it arrives in your country. For this reason, I recommend that if you are outside the European Union, you elect to have the artwork and reading sent to you in digital format. You can then have it printed on your end and frame it nicely. If you definitely want the physical artwork mailed to you in your country, we can look at the additional costs that would entail.
Included in this package is an original, hand-drawn portrait and a text-based message from your Guide.
The portrait is created with a variety of media and depicts the likeness of your Spirit Guide.
If you select a physical artwork:
The size of the artwork is A4 – 210mm(w) x 297mm(h). The artwork it is mounted on an A4 backing board with a border / mounting board so you can pop it into a frame of your choice on it’s arrival by mail. The message from your Guide will come printed onto A4 paper will be included in the package.
If you select the digital format artwork:
You will receive the artwork in a high-resolution, print-ready JPG so you can have it printed and frame it. The print file and the message from your guide will be sent to you via email.
When you feel called to book a Spirit Guide Portrait with me, the first thing to do is book the reading in on my scheduling page. You will be required to make payment upfront. This way, we are confirmed that all systems are Go and everything can start aligning for successful contact with your Guide.
You will be asked to complete some information on a form such as your email address and your phone number so that I can contact you. Should you wish to receive your artwork and reading to your physical address (in Europe), I will need that too. Should you wish to receive the artwork and reading solely via email, you don’t need to supply your address.
When I receive your booking on my side, I will send an email to you to say hello and make contact with you. Ideally I would like to have just a brief conversation with you, either via email, text chat or a video call – just to make a connection with you. During our conversation, you may want to give me explicit permission to connect with your Spirit Guides to ensure an open channel. Should you have any specific areas of interest or questions you would like to ask, now is the time for us to discuss them so that I can bring them into the reading space with me. Not all questions are always suitable questions – I will advise you during our meeting and provide guidance if necessary. If you don’t have any specific questions, that is OK – you can just leave everything to me.
It has happened in the past that someone would request a reading on the behalf of someone else, perhaps as a gift. If you were looking to order a Spirit Guide Portrait as a gift for someone else, I would ask you to get their enthusiastic consent beforehand. The message will have the most impact if it is wanted. In such a case where you are ordering a portrait and reading for someone else, please kindly supply a photograph of their face, so that I can see especially their eyes clearly to make a connection.
Now that we have all the admin and paperwork out of the way, my work can begin. From my meditative and connected place, I connect with the Spirit Guide that is most important for you, at the present moment. I see the Guide and we have a conversation, much like one would converse with a human person. I can ask questions and receive answers. Using my art materials, I create a completely original and unique artwork showing the colours and distinguishing features of your Spirit Guide. While I am working on the art work, more messages and information come through and I write all of it down. When the art work is complete, I type up the entire conversation with your Guide and all the messages I received.
When it is a physical drawing, I package it with a white mounting board and firm backing board attached so that it may travel safely to you via the post or courier. I print out the reading, pop it into an envelope to insert with the artwork. So the artwork and reading arrive as a set, and the artwork is ready to insert into an A4 frame on your side.
If you have chosen to receive the artwork and reading in digital format, I send you the portrait in a high resolution, high quality JPG, and the reading in PDF format to you – all via email.
For the physical artworks, I create the artwork on A4 size. That is 210(w) x 297(h)mm or 5.83″ x 8.27″.
I mount this on an A4 mounting board – that is 210(w) x 297(h) or 8.27″ x 11.69″.
The reading is printed on A4 paper.
For digital formats, the artwork is supplied at 3508 x 4961 pixels at 300dpi – print-quality resolution for any size up to an A3 print.
Furthermore, for devices like your phone, laptop, desktop or SmartTV background, I can supply the artwork to you at the correct size and resolution. Please ask me about it if you are interested.
No. From start to finish, my process is completely hand-made, hand-written and created by me in accordance to what your Guide is telling me and showing me. At no point is any artificial intelligence used. The artwork is created specifically for you by my hands and never sourced off the internet or created by generative artificial intelligence.

A little
about me
Hello 🙂
My name is Cari and I am an intuitive reader and artist with a passion for helping others connect with their Spirit Guides. For as long as I can remember, I’ve felt a deep connection to the unseen world, and it brings me so much joy to share this gift with you. My mission is to bring clarity, peace, and inspiration to your journey, one reading and portrait at a time.
I am also a designer, traveller and enjoyer of all the beautiful things in life. I am happiest when I’m close to water, forests and mountains. My young adulthood was full of adventure and exploration – physically, spiritually and academically. I studied and traveled extensively, never satisfied to remain in one place or field of study for long. In 2022, I left my native South Africa and moved to Europe, where I have happily settled with my husband and dog in Galicia, Spain. Since my childhood, I always knew there was much more to the story than what my religious upbringing was telling me and the last few decades have been an incredibly rich and enriching journey exploring the possibilities. I am inspired by the beauty I see in this realm, as well the realms beyond and it is my purpose and joy to help lift the veils to let the beauty spread and shine.
All artworks are hand-made and 100% original, made specifically for you, using physical and digital media. I use absolutely no artificial intelligence to create the artwork or the reading.
