You are standing in the liminal space of possibilities...not who you were, but not quite who you are becoming. This portrait is more than a work of art, it is a journey, a commitment, proclaiming "I'm ready" to the next evolution of you.
"I knew from the moment I saw one of Nica's portraits that it would be part of my healing journey and would come along just when I needed it. To be witnessed in so much love is such an amazing gift and I can't thank Nica enough for it. I highly recommend this journey for everyone. Let yourself be seen" - Lauren H.
You look behind you, around you, ahead of you, and you barely recognize any of it anymore. You hardly recall the person you were a few months ago let alone years ago...
You know that every step of your journey leads you to your next, but there is this itching feeling within wanting to "know" what's next, you have trust in yourself and the universe that you are on the right path, but that doesn't mean this gestation period–the in-between–is comfortable.
These portraits are created through a intuitive flow and channeling based on your reflections, our conversation, and the space between.
You will recieve a fully unique, visual representation that reflects who you are and who you are becoming, an anchor point as you continue to emerge.
And like the dragonfly nymph, you are feeling the subtle urges of unexplored territories calling you, drawing you nearer to the surface, not knowing what awaits you when you arrive...
Not knowing that you will become an irridecsent gem flying through the sky.

THE PROCESS
Cross the threshold
Pick your start month (this isn't an exact date, but I am only taking on 2 per month), you will then be given the pre-work necessary to begin.
Take some time to reflect and fill out the lengthy and deep questionnaire, not something to be taken lightly! This is a crucial part of the process to take your time. This must be completed before our call.
clarity call
Receive
You will schedule a date that we will have our call, during this call I will walk you through a short guided meditation to meet your a version of your past, present, and future self to uncover more.
Now it's creation time.
I cannot give an exact timeline for completion because each process is so different, but roughly 2-6 weeks after our call. You will then recieve your portrait in perfect timing.
Currently, I will only be taking on 2 Portraits per month, so spaces are very limited. Sign up to the waitlist for more information and to be updated and informed when and how to claim one of these limited spaces.
In 2021, I began creating these elaborate portraits that allowed others to see themselves in a new light, to weave all the pieces of themselves into one place and be witnessed at a soul-level. The Whole-Self Portrait was born.
These took off and within a year and a half I had created over 70 portraits for people around the world. I was riding an energy of the time that many were feeling – that it was time to be seen, that we were all in an immense growth period. These portraits helped illuminate and inspire people in their own lives.
Through these portraits, I learned to trust my intuition in a new way, realizing what channeling truly meant to me and in my art.
Ultimately, I ended up burning out. These take immense energy and I was beginning to feel the next wave – business-oriented design. So Whole-Self Portraits went dormant (but I always knew they were coming back, but not when or what they would evolve into).
Three years later, I have now stepped back into the space and energy of being ready to create in this way again, and so what has changed? What has evolved? These portraits, now called Next-Level Portraits, are meant to walk people through the liminal space of becoming.
This is the energy I am seeing/feeling in the collective, with my clients, from friends–we're in time of rapid and incredible changes, and many are on the verge of or maybe just been through something transformational. Who knows where these will lead?

"Wow! I teared up when I saw the drawing and after reading everything. You are insanely gifted and your medicine is so special. I have never experienced anything quite like this. You are so very unique and intuitively accurate.
You have a way of really “seeing” the person you’re reading. It’s beautiful and I love it so much! This will be something I keep in my altar room and will cherish deeply! I feel like this is something that will truly help me on my path and give me the light I need to keep going! Thank you so very much! So much admiration for you and your medicine Nica!"
Saskia
"WOW Nica I'm speechless!!
Thank you so much for this beautiful piece of art and your kind and powerful words!! [...] It reminds me that all the energies are always with me and that magic is everywhere. I feel so strong and sensitive at the same time looking at this piece and I guess that's just how I am!
It was a pleasure to chat with you! Your art is amazing and I am sure you will bring so much more magic and deep messages to the world with it."
Michelle
"Wow, Nica!
I absolutely LOVE all of it!!!
I had no doubt in my heart from seeing your other pieces and speaking with you, that you would be able to capture the essence of who I am in its entirety. And that you have, and in a way that causes me to feel both in-love with myself and this life journey. I feel inspired to keep flowing forward. Especially, with the support of my lovely horse herd and the natural world. I do love the phrase that you chose. It feels empowering! As well as, the moon phases. I have been growing increasingly interested in lunar cycles, and how the support the journey that I am on. The moon has such powerful energy.
It has been a pleasure working on this project with you, and an honor to have had you create this beautiful piece and poem for me. Both which touch my soul and bring joy to my heart. I will treasure it always!"

"I am not sure what to say. Thank you just doesn’t seem enough. Your work has left me speechless but my heart pounds with joy at the beauty of this image. There have been so many emotions that have bubbled up with each viewing.
Every time I look at this image I uncover another magical detail. (I didn’t even see the dolphins until I read the pdf). It feels as though you connected to the longings of my soul and saw into my dreams with this image. You captured the goddess and the horses from my breath work vision so perfectly. How is that possible?
I am in awe and in heartfelt gratitude for this gift.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

"I'm speechless!!
I'm sitting here looking at this work of art, depiction of my soul, transformed into visual beauty and awe. All I've wished to scream from rooftops, you put picture to. All I feel for the natural world around me, you brought to life. It's hard to imagine my soul as a painting...until I saw this.
Nica, you are a visionary splendid. A story, a sensitivity, power, magic and more gleam from this and I cannot thank you enough!!!
Manuela
"I'm still crying ... THIS IS SOOOO GOD DAMN BEAUTIFUL!!! THIS IS SOOO ME!!!!
I can't believe what you've created ... My heart is burning like I'm on fire when I look at it. This is exactly how I was as a child - and how I'm longing and working on myself to be again. Connected to nature, the animals, the sparkling miracles around me. Grounded and peaceful, but at the same time being in flames, emerging from the ashes, from where I've been hiding, spreading my wings to show myself to the rest of the world. Ready to join the magic unicorn in the sky, ready for adventures, ready to conquer the world.
I really can't stop crying, seriously ... How can someone who doesn't know me, capture my soul in such a beautiful art piece?! How is that possible?! Looking at myself there at the bottom of the tree, fills my heart with calmness, peace and so much love - it's hard to bear.
"Im absolutely speechless, this is amazing."
"I have tears pouring down my face. I just read what you wrote. Thank you for hearing me and seeing me. I’m profoundly touched."
