"Painting is how I transcend language; it's storytelling without the pressure of words."

Inspire © Mickey MacKaben

As a visual expressionist, painting is a pathway that allows me full access to my conscious and unconscious thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

I like to “paint it out” and approach my paintings intuitively, listening to my inner voice as it guides me through my process.

Visual language is my comfort zone, allowing me to communicate in ways that transcend words. This is especially true for me as a neurodivergent individual with dyslexia and ADHD.

My creative practice allows me full access to my innerverse and to communicate freely without pressure. My guides and soul talk to me through my process.

It’s all about flow and listening to my inner self. Each color I choose, every mark I make, it all comes from within.

The more I paint, the more my mind relaxes and I open the channel to my inner world, allowing messages to come through. Some of the messages are for me alone, and some are for me to share.

As I move the paint around, building layer upon layer, the messages become clearer  and the painting becomes a visual expression of this process of discovery.

I know the transformative power of the arts and how they can provide a unique pathway for self-expression, building confidence, and nurturing a profound sense of belonging.

The arts also play a crucial role in helping individuals be seen, heard, and understood within their community.

This knowledge led me to develop my own creative practice and integrate creative expression within my mentorship and coaching offerings.

Time Traveler

Time travel is truth serum, revealing patterns, behaviors, and actions that hold you back or propel you forward. Modern-day time travelers are fortune tellers of past, present, future - the multiverse.

The Places I've Been

Mental journeying can feel as if you've been everywhere and nowhere simultaneously. Realism/fantasy, spiraling up/falling awake, winding road/dead ends, limiting/limitless. No reservations required.

"I love that you finished our painting session with a very personal meditation, validating my energy and guiding me forward into a positive experience for my upcoming convention (which I had been feeling anxious about). It was so supportive, affirmative, and empowering.

Having the physical painting is a touchstone of this amazing experience, and I can call up the energy of that session whenever I need a reminder that I can be centered and in a state of allowing. I have it hanging in my entryway, where I can see it when I go out and come in!

Thank you again for sharing your gift with me - both of art and intuition and guidance."

- Marci McAdam, Artist

"When I sat down for Mickey’s Radiance Emergence Reading, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, and I can safely say it absolutely blew me away.

First of all, the energy Mickey brings is one where I immediately felt at ease and open to the process. She guided me with warmth, support, and encouragement, asking questions where she could feel my words and transfer them so poetically to the painting. The colors that spoke to her captured the essence of me completely and the flow of the painting perfectly captures the essence of that session.

I left the session feeling grounded, open and in such a state of calm and peace. That in itself was beautiful and now I have this incredible piece of art in addition.

Energy essence captured in the most unique and beautiful way. Thank you, Mickey!"

"I am grateful for the opportunity to do a Radiance Emergence Reading with Mickey. Despite not really knowing what to expect. I am stunned at the difference it has made. She was able to really see how I was playing small/holding back. She affirmed that I did know and helped me to trust in the knowing. I have already increased my confidence in trusting my knowing!

I really feel that Mickey is on to something with her Radiance Emergence Reading offer and encourage people to try it. You may be surprised like me with what surfaces!"
