Journey of an Accidental Artist is about the spiritual journey of healing through which Selena finds her gift of art and soul purpose.  After the passing of her mother, Selena questions life and death. Through her grief, she explores channeling the afterlife, past lives, soul families, energy healing and intuitive healing arts. Selena discovers that she can paint and within two years, she has created over 200 paintings and is exhibiting and selling at festivals, tradeshows, holistic spas, gift stores, cafes and galleries. The divine synchronicities that guide her on her journey to meet her soul tribe and bloom into an artist is amazing.  Selena shows how the cathartic process of of creating art in a sacred space can stimulate self-discovery and healing. The chapters are filled with illustrations of her paintings that correspond with her journey. The story will inspire you to realize there is more to us than our physical being; that we can co-create a happy fulfilling life before crossing over to the other side.

“Wonderful book; funny, sensitive, enlightening.  A must read!” ~Carla Carmo, Holistic Healer

“A delightful book because I could relate to my mother passing away with Selena's.  It brought a familiar emotional time for me. I too asked my mother to let me know what it is like on the other side and to give me a sign, which I felt she did a year later. The book pages are an artistic journey that I could follow along and relate to fully. A fun empowering spiritual read.”  ~Lavana La Brey, Owner, Renaissance Books

“Fabulous read! The path that Selena is travelling is unique and I am privileged to see Selena be her most authentic self. I have several of her artworks, each with a serenity and grace that gives my home an energy that no words can express.”  ~Sheila Raadschelders, Psychic Color Visionary and Alchemist
