Healing Through Art: Abstract Expression, Gold, and Soul-Deep Transformation

Welcome to a sanctuary where art is more than visual—it's a journey of healing, soul expression, and profound connection. My name is Blair Ricker, and I am the founder of a unique, heart-led business where abstract art and therapeutic practice intertwine. As an abstract artist and art therapist, I offer not only visual creations but also an experience—of healing, transformation, and truth.

Art as Medicine

At the core of my work is a deep belief: art is medicine. It’s a channel, a portal, a mirror to the soul. My art is not about perfection or pleasing the eye alone—though beauty is often a byproduct. It is about evoking emotion, unlocking buried stories, and honoring the often unseen forces that shape our lives. My medium is abstract because healing rarely follows a straight line. It twists, flows, breaks, reforms—and so does my art.

I work with powerful natural materials: 24K gold, organic matter like sand, leaves, or clay, rich textured compounds, and living plants. These elements are chosen with intention and reverence. Gold represents light, divinity, and the sacred. Organic materials speak to our roots, our ancestry, our connection to the earth. Texture invites touch—reminding us that we are not only observers but participants in life’s creative and healing process.

From Trauma to Transformation

I do not offer these services from a pedestal—I offer them from the soil of my own experience. I am a woman who has walked through trauma, through grief, through the labyrinth of CPTSD and brain trauma. And I continue to walk the path of healing every day. My personal journey gives me the insight, compassion, and sensitivity to hold space for others as they navigate their own emotional landscapes.

With a background in Developmental Psychology and Trauma Release Therapy, I work as an art therapist to guide clients through emotional blockages, trauma recovery, self-discovery, and empowerment. Each session is client-led, deeply intuitive, and often surprising. Through the process of creating, destroying, and reimagining, people find their way back to themselves.

This is therapy that goes beyond words. For many, especially those carrying deep or generational wounds, words are simply not enough. The body remembers. The soul speaks in colors, in shapes, in movements. Art becomes a sacred dialogue between the conscious and the unconscious, the visible and the invisible.

 

 

A Bridge Between Worlds

I am not only a therapist and artist; I am also a conduit—a bridge between the living and the dead, the spiritual and the earthly. My work honors ancestral memory, spiritual presence, and intuitive knowing. Whether through creating a commissioned piece or guiding someone through a therapeutic process, I hold a space that is both grounded and mystical. Many of my clients describe their experiences with me as deeply spiritual, cathartic, and even life-altering.

This is not just about healing—it is about remembering. Remembering who you are before the trauma. Remembering what joy feels like in your body. Remembering that you belong here.

Commissioned Art & Personalized Therapy

I offer one-of-a-kind abstract art commissions tailored to your story, energy, or healing intention. Each piece is co-created through a conversation between us and the materials. Whether you are seeking a symbolic healing object, a sacred centerpiece for your home, or an artwork infused with the memory of a loved one, I invite you to reach out.

I also offer individual art therapy sessions, either in-person or virtually. These are not cookie-cutter programs. They are personalized, trauma-informed, intuitive journeys. We use color, form, breath, sound, and reflection to explore your inner world safely and creatively. No artistic skill is needed—only an open heart and a willingness to explore.

Poetry & Soul Expression

In addition to my visual and therapeutic work, I am a published poet. Writing is another way I express my soul and connect with others. Poetry is woven into many aspects of my practice. It appears in my artwork, in my therapy sessions, and in the way I speak about healing. I often write custom poems for clients as part of the art-making or therapeutic process. These words, like my art, are meant to nourish the spirit.

Let's Connect

Whether you are drawn to the gold and organic textures of my abstract art, in need of a gentle space for healing, or simply curious about what’s possible when art and spirit meet—I welcome you.

This is a space for the raw, the real, the radiant. It’s for anyone seeking deeper connection—to self, to soul, to story.

Let’s make something beautiful together.
