My guest today is Heather Eck. Heather Eck is a multimedia abstract artist and writer. An intuitive artist and painter, Heather interprets people, places, and experiences through color, a condition known as synesthesia. Like an enormous box of crayons, her gift operates by categorizing through intricate but specific shades of color. While this condition enables her to experience color, she responds to these encounters with people, things, emotions, and spaces by understanding the particular shade of experience that a person dwells in. She uses her gift to detect the most healing color for them to remedy their wounds. Guided by the chakra system and inspired by spirituality and the mysteries of the universe, Heather transforms these vibrant energies into captivating paintings that uplift, inspire and, ultimately, heal. Each canvas becomes a symphony of color and emotion, a visual representation of the unseen connections that weave through our lives. Heather's work is more than art; it's a medium of healing, a testament to the profound influence of color on our well-being. In this episode we discuss synesthesia, art, intuition, healing, self-discovery and spirituality.

“There are two, I think, definitions of intuitive artists. One is some people, when they're painting a landscape or painting something representational, will plan out what it looks like and be methodical about that approach. Some intuitive artists, though, will approach a canvas without any plan at all and just let their intuition kind of guide them.” - 00:02:49
“Synesthesia is kind of the easiest way to define it is when your senses get crossed in your brain. And so if I smell something in my mind, I see it as a color and a shape." 00:34:49
“You are all beautiful and wonderful people. Don't let what anybody says about you prevent you from being your most authentic self. You are here to do incredible, wonderful, big things that you cannot even possibly imagine.” 00:49:19
