AboutElyse M. Santoro
People ask me how I integrate the artist me and the designer me in my world.
For a long time, it wasn’t clear to me—but here’s how it happened.

Self-Taught Artist
About five years ago, after taking a certified training in Sonoma, CA, to teach “Intentional Creativity,” a global creative movement, the artist in me really blossomed.
A self-taught artist, I found myself painting things I had no idea how to do, but they just emerged in the process of putting the brush to the canvas.
I now teach the method of therapeutic painting to women in my studio when I have time between my commissions and design work. This fulfills a piece in me, which is a part of my life purpose as a spiritual teacher.
Since I started painting seriously five years ago, I have created and sold many paintings to my design clients, wellness centers, and friends based on the themes of their projects.
My new series of Feng Shui Art for the Heart is composed of paintings that balance, nourish, and activate areas in the spaces they are placed according to feng shui elements, colors, and energies.
I have experienced the most joy and fulfillment in my life since my divine design as an artist in the spotlight has begun to unfold.

Elyse M. Santoro’s PHILOSOPHY
I believe each of us has the spark of creation within us; it is our divine destiny to find it, activate it, and live it in some way in our lives.
Creativity heals. We are in a time where planetary healing is happening through creative self-expression. It is critical to begin to integrate art, creativity, and beauty in our personal sphere of life and take it out into the world and the community to help unite and heal the separation that exists—and that only creative unity will heal.
