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. Home is in the deciduous wonderland of Massachusetts these days, though I am forever a cedar-loving Oregonian at heart.

Art and writing have healed, shifted, and transformed me in more ways than I can express, and I love to share the beauty of creative process with others.

As I engage in the process of building out a shop and space for us to commune ever more deeply, I invite you to explore the portals that already exist through current exhibitions, on my website, through my newsletter, and via social media. You can get to know me better formally via my artist statement, or informally here.

I also welcome you to reach out via email at alana@ofloveandlight.org. I’m often open to commissions and collaborations, and am happy to talk on phone or video call by appointment.
