“To be an artist is to believe in life.”

—Henry Moore

hello love!

Welcome to my little corner of the world.

My name is Alana Garrigues.

I’m an intuitive artist, lover of land and trees, mama of nearly-grown identical twins, and strong believer in multidisciplinary magic. Art and writing have healed, shifted, and transformed me in so many ways, and I love to share the beauty of creative process with others.

I’m dreaming up meaningful ways for us to connect in liberation, joy, and creativity as I tend to the muse that lives in me. 

As I engage in the process of building out a shop and space for us to commune ever more deeply, I invite you into relationship via the portals that already exist:

    • read my blog and past newsletters
    • sign onto the newsletter
    • check out shows and workshops listed at the top of the home page
    • reach out via email at alana@ofloveandlight.org
      • (I’m often open to commissions and collaborations! happy to talk on phone or video call by appointment)
    • buy high quality, licensed, archival prints via Papernoten 
    • connect through social media (frequently on Instagram | less often on Facebook).

xoxo,

alana
