Heart Portraits: Intuitive Art Readings
Heart Portraits are heart readings in the form of painitings that offer reflections, affirmations, and invitations to care for the heart of your life and your being. The colors, textures, and forms of each heart portrait give insights about you, your relationships, joys and pains, the energy within, through, and around you, your spirit guides and protectors, and/or the context surrounding you.
Every heart is unique.
Every heart is beautiful.
The Backstory
“How long have you been tuning into people’s hearts?” she asked when I gave her a drawing of her heart.
I had been drawing hearts for several years. Most of the time, the drawings reflected the stirrings of my own heart, other times they showed how I saw the heart of the world. And sometimes, without the realizing I was even doing it, I was drawing reflections of other people’s hearts.
Two days after her question, I wrote in my journal, “I would like to draw people’s hearts.” Since then the images have been flooding in, at first for people I know; then, after reaching out to people in my networks, I began drawing for people I don't know. Vivid pictures, each unique, a snapshot of a heart at a point in time. I'd share each new image with the person and also share the insights learned through the process of creation and from the image itself. “Does that resonate? Does this feel true?” I ask. The answer, each time, has been yes, and yes, and yes . . .
Very quickly, I realized: This is my work. I am called to tune into people’s hearts, to draw the image that emerges, and to share the insights. It is an intuitive process, a sacred process; it is an honor.
Having our hearts seen is healing.
How Heart Portraits Work
Annual Heart Portraits
When you commission an Annual Heart Portrait, you are inviting me to tune in and read the energies of your heart and create the image of what I discover through drawing/painting.
The tuning in is not a process that requires communication or information from you, only your permission to do so. Having your consent is really important to me.
After setting up your portrait’s unique sacred space, I create the portrait and record the insights and messages of the reading. Heart Portraits are filled with affirmations, invitations, and so much support.
When we meet, I share the portrait and, both aloud and in written form, the messages received. I also give you time to reflect and ask questions. You receive both the original 5" x 7" drawing and the written interpretation.
Creating, interpreting, and sharing an Annual Heart Portrait with you takes 3.5-5 hours.
Because people’s hearts are so beautiful, I share Heart Portrait photos on social media. I do not share personal details about you; I may share themes from the interpretation, or occasionally, with your permission details or a story.
Seasonal Heart Portraits
When you commission a Seasonal Heart Portrait, you are inviting me to tune in and read the energies of your heart and create the image of what I discover through drawing/painting.
After setting up your portrait’s unique sacred space, I create the portrait in your actual or virtual presence and share the insights and invitations as they flow through me. I am with you to create your Seasonal Heart Portrait for about 45 to 60 minutes. You will receive the original 4” x 6” portrait.
Seasonal Heart Portraits are more temporal in nature than Annual Heart Portraits, meaning that you can have up to 4 portraits created in a year. A package of 4 Seasonal Heart Portraits is available for purchase.
I also create Heart Portraits for businesses and organizations!
The process is the same as described above, but the portrait sizes and pricing are different.

Testimonials
"It was so empowering to receive Cory’s validation both in tangible form and over the phone in a session...
I have worked with sensitive and gifted healers and psychics in different capacities for the past 10 + years and I experience regular doses of magic and mystery in my private practice. The point being: it takes a lot to impress me these days. Cory floored me with her heart drawing and reading. It was so empowering to receive Cory’s validation both in tangible form and over the phone in a session. Hers is the kinds of gift that is very rare and doesn’t easily come by. Embrace the opportunity with open arms should you get the chance.”
— Loraine Van Tuyl, The Sacred Healing Well, San Francisco Bay, CA
"The experience of having my intuitive heart portrait drawn and interpreted by Cory was incredibly affirming and powerful...
She touched on things very deep within me - the deepest influences of my greatest joys and greatest pains - my connection to the earth and to spirit, my ability to be grounded and open my heart, my rich, beautiful relationships - and my tendency to open too much, allowing myself to be unnecessarily affected by negative energies too easily. She was able to depict and interpret symptoms of a debilitating anxiety disorder that I’ve dealt with on and off for the past 10 years. This was what impressed me the most, as it’s something I very rarely talk about with anyone. She has a very beautiful, rare, special, incredible gift!”
