DeviMEA Art and Chillosophy

Long intro but it is most definitely what it is. Some things I just can't leave out because they do make a difference in my personal perspective and how I live this gift of a life 

I started this blog for my  Devi MEA art with the goal of offering readers a glimpse into my thoughts and experiences as well as the personal  inspiration for the art of/ behind the NFTS.

I am a low vision artist who thought she had lost her best friend "Art", when my vision started dropping fast due to Neurological condition with no cure. I am an artist with other chronic inflammation and neurological conditions that affect all I do and every minute of my life.  I truly believe that it all forms the Art of my life and the art that is my life. The inspiration for the art is this..all of this that we call, I call ~Life. 
The miracles keep happening and having art back due to digital tools and technology plus my amazing daughter and friends, has given me a second chance at not just art but life itself. So I consider myself above all Blessed! Blessed! Alive and blessed some more. 

I am also conquering and overcoming mental challenges that give me opportunities to be awesome,hypo manic, chronic agitation and  either 1000 miles per hour or speed of light, with constant agitation. That's why I describe myself as a Neurological Mental beast .. because it is tough as nails but no excuse not to accept that this life is a privilege. 
I am all natural no meds and my own choice. My personal experience with medications has at times left me in the hospital because of what science calls, "allergic reactions or bad reactions" to the medications I have been given so it has been a die hard personal choice and I do not recommend anyone get off meds or stop any treatment. 

However, 4 chronic conditions, mental challenges and yes! All natural and meditation. The Shamanic, tantric path and Art be my therapy, remedy and everything to me. 
I am Guatemalan born and my Granny was a shaman who talked to those crossed over till her last words. I am an initiated and bloodline Shaman. I work my Shamanic path contribution based only. Mainly working with end of life, chronic illness, chronic pain management and healing trauma, finding the wisdom in it. The pain became my gift in being a better Guide. A shaman doesn't heal you but we do guide you. 

I don't see myself staying in bed or giving up any day in this great life so to me having the shamanic and being a meditation master of over 24 yrs and my art is what has been priceless in my journey. I did find the pain to be so wise. It held  so much within it to share as long as I sat with the pain without wanting it to go away and instead just embracing it as a part of the physical body that I could learn from. 
Having the opportunity to support myself,pay it forward and experience and inspire others is what NFTs have given me and I can not thank you enough for being here to witness me even if just a little. 

I have lived a very full life. Full of experiences that at times added more trauma because I had to heal early childhood molestation first. I have done the long commute to work,corporate, adult entertainment,single motherhood, college, world travels, near death experiences, complex relationships, amazing relationships, dirt floor low times, pain filled days every single day and priceless moments of ecstasy and I can confess that I would do it all again because of who I am in love with today. Myself and this gift of a life. 

I have found the ecstasy in the agony and the agony in the ecstasy and feel privileged just to be here. 


To wrap up that part..well..I am not sure how long my mobility will be the way it is now and my vision keeps dropping a bit slower now but it's neurological so ....up to chance and strength. I don't believe myself to be disabled so I wanted to do what I could now while I could instead of wishing the pain and all away. It would be an honor to share my work with you and to see pictures of my art on walls and to share a little bit of myself while I can.

 Also like I shared, part of this NFT journey will be about *paying it forward* and giving back for this amazing life so please stay tuned for the Buddha Bear collection which will include tangible items but will mainly be about making women &children in shelters just a little bit happier. Gotta also give while I can!

We don't have tomorrow guaranteed ..the time is now and so Let's live now and do this! As long as I can... here I will be. 
Any questions just ask. We can say everything with compassion, love and respect. 

I am available for kindness, humanity, happiness, honesty, compassion and know I am supported because I am still standing. Respect and love to your journey.
May you be happy, healthy, live your life with ease and may you be free. 
Gratitude...


Thank you for joining me even if just for a short stop here in the virtual. Thank you. It's an honor to have you here. Please reach out if any questions and know that I appreciate your presence in this crazy beautiful mystery of a place & our life journey.
