"The images travel a spectrum of terrains and colors, with elements and figures which are a fascinating symbolic pantheon waiting to be explored. The medium of exploration is your own imagination. By simply spending time with the images and getting a feeling quality for each, they settle into your personal matrix and start to do their magic." Rich

What is an Essence Reflection Portrait ?
Essence Reflection Portrait
A visual and written reflection of your inner world
Katelyn Davida Mariah is a visionary watercolor artist with a rare ability to connect with you at a deeper level and translate what your inner world is ready to share into symbolic, meaningful imagery.
You do not need to be physically present for this work. The connection is made through your higher self, which is always available and present.
Through intuitive perception and visionary art, Katelyn creates a symbolic watercolor painting that carries insight, reflection, and meaning you can return to for years to come.
Each portrait is accompanied by a written reflection that helps you understand the symbolism and what your inner world is expressing at this time in your life.
A bridge between inner wisdom and image
Katelyn’s work acts as a bridge between deeper wisdom and visual form. Her paintings are known for carrying a palpable sense of presence—something people often feel simply by looking at or holding the artwork.
This is not analysis or prediction.
It is a gentle, symbolic reflection of your inner landscape.
Experience behind the work
Katelyn holds a BFA in Fine Arts, formal training in Renaissance art techniques, and has devoted over 35 years to visionary painting.
Her background also includes decades of professional experience listening deeply to human experience, which informs the emotional and psychological depth present in each Soul Reflection Portrait.
The result is a piece of art that is both beautiful and meaningful, created specifically for you, along with a written reflection to guide your understanding.

Take the Essence Reflection Portrait to a Deeper Level
Your Essence Reflection Portrait plus a plant ally to support the journey
|
|
This is a unique offering of an original painting that emerges from chthonic depth, created in an intimate format accompanied by a personally selected herbal ally.
The image is not planned or conceptually designed. It unfolds through attentive listening to a deeper field of symbolic and structural intelligence. It is created through an intuitive connection with your soul, so you do not need to be physically present for the process. I allow the painting to take shape before I fully understand it.
From that same depth of listening — informed by decades of relationship with plant medicine — a botanical ally is selected or formulated. The plant is chosen in resonance with the energetic architecture revealed in the portrait.
Each stage of the process unfolds organically, guided by the work itself. Over the past thirty years, those who have received my portraits and readings often describe the experience as deeply moving, emotionally resonant, and uncannily accurate — offering insight and inspiration that continues to unfold over time.
The process is unhurried and spacious. Image and plant arise within the same field, offering support for reflection, integration, and embodiment. Along with the painting and herbal companion, I include a short written reflection that gently bridges the two.
I offer a limited quantity of these per month
The exchange is:
$325 for an 8 × 8
$425 for a 10 × 10
This includes the original painting, the personal herbal creation, written reflection, and shipping.
If this feels like a steady yes, let me know which size you’re drawn to and I will share the next steps. And if the timing isn’t aligned, that’s completely welcome as well — this work asks to be entered into with clarity and readiness.

Here are a sample of the kind of testimonials I get all of the time from people I paint soul portraits for.
Essence Reflection Portrait for the Edge Magazine
"I love my soul portrait, the rose and hummingbirds and the number 4 were so appropriate for me at this time. I have been doing inner digging and feel the rose represents the awakening and compassion I need to bloom. Recently, my partner and I purchased a hummingbird feeder for our home and I have been practicing learning my lessons through the experience of joy and bliss rather than pain and hardship. Four represents the work I have accomplished in creating and nourishing my home and establishing roots. We have been here for exactly four years. I love my soul protrait, it is a very uplifting, breakthrough experience that I will cherish forever."
“Thank you for my soul painting, Katelyn!
Gazing upon my soul painting brought such delight! I felt like a kid in a candy store - taking in colors, images, sensations, and contemplating the possibilities 😉
Your work is an inspiring wonderland, Katelyn, rife with multiple meanings and transcending dimensions. It is deep, provocative, fun, and timelessly beautiful. It encapsulates so much truth for me, in a comforting way, that offers further awakening, understanding, and gratitude for my soul essence.
There is simply so much to explore and all the images resonate in different ways. I have always connected with color as a powerful healing force in my life. In fact, two of my favorite colors are prominent in the painting, namely - turquoise blue and lavender. Very cool!
You mention in your intuitive guidance section that I acted as an oracle to help heal the sick in Egypt and prior lifetimes. You won’t be surprised to know that I am trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine, although I have not practiced for over 10 years now. Am currently contemplating whether I “have what it takes” to meet all the requirements to obtain licensure to practice in CO. I will be 61 in June (6/6/60) and have a demanding full-time job, so this would be a part-time endeavor for me for many years to come, should I decide to pursue it anew. I’ve always known that healing is part of my soul’s work and destiny this lifetime, as it has been in prior ones. So we shall see...
Thank you, Katelyn, for sharing your healing, loving, transformational artistic gifts with humanity. The world needs them - now more than ever. Keep up the great work!
May ongoing success, happiness, love, good health and fulfillment of your innermost heart’s desires be yours for the asking - and endless blessings to you and your loved ones, too.”

“Feeling Grateful Today I picked up my Soul Wisdom Portrait from the brilliant and beautiful Katelyn Mariah. The imagery and her reading are on point. Like the snake, I am shedding a lot of old "skin" and transforming my life. The last time I dreamt of a snake was right before I moved to Minnesota. And like the leopard I am getting ready to make one of the biggest leaps in my life. Thank you so much Kately, you are such a gift.“ Tai Goodwin--

“My Soul Portrait is the most amazing and awesome item I have ever purchased for myself. It’s so beautiful and so right on target of who I am. I was totally astounded when I first saw it and it is totally incredible how accurate it is at this time in my life. I meditate on the painting daily to learn all that it will teach me on my healing journey. Katelyn Mariah is an Amazing woman and is very much a healer. I have been in a depressed state for well over a year. Now since having my Soul Portrait done and meditating on it, I can actually see light coming back into my life, that had been crushing out of me. I can feel the shift occurring in me. Everyday is now another step forward toward being healed and living the life that is meant for me.” The surprising thing for me was to learn that her middle name was Rose and the name she uses online means vine two of the prominent symbols in this painting. I am so blessed to be the steward of these beautiful, powerful paintings ❤️ |

" My soul portrait gave me further insight to "stuff" that was already going on inside of me. It was amazing that someone I don't know was actually able to pick up on things that are very real and true to me personally. I'm in a phase of learning, seeking and self discovery right now. Many of the "self" things I am working on/towards came through in the portrait and further insight was given in Katelyn's interpretation of the piece. I go back to it every now and then and pick up on new and different interpretations and nuances, it continues to speak to me.
I would recommend it to anyone. It's fun to see what comes through. My sister got one done also and had similiar feelings about hers. " SR |

“Katelyn, I received my soul portrait yesterday…thank you!! It’s lovely!!! I have followed my North Star for years…and sometimes it’s gone against the grain but I trust it!! The Koi Fish…love that symbol!! It’s a living, golden jewel for sure and is part of my being!!! I am that and shine that for others to inspire and empower them!!! The lotus flower…that reminds me of going into the darkness and subconscious at night(doing my own personal work) and then blooming again to exude my personal beauty and fragrance into the world for another day!! We each carry such magnificent gifts…thank you for tapping into some of mine! Namaste”

"What I like about your art is that the channel that you are to your images is absolutely clear. I would say, “clean”. Your art is deceptively simple, yet refers directly to the world of archetypes and meaning. It is not even necessary to “ decipher” it, we would possibly be engaged with an erroneous interpretation. It is sufficient to go with the spontaneous “I like it”, it stands by itself, the way trees and rocks and sunsets stand by themselves." Shakti

First of all thank you for the wonderful art you are contributing. I found it on the internet and it appealed to me so much. Both the symbolism, balance and serenity! You are a new paradigm painter. I have seen that alchemical birds are featured in your paintings and you do this so beautifully. Kristina from Sweden

I absolutely love my soul portrait, and I love that you took the time to share the symbolism with me. It's wonderfully amazing how it all fit so perfectly.
