Spirit Art: Artistic Creations Inspired By Spiritual Forces
Updated 2025.05.19
When most people think of Spirit Art, they think of Aura Paintings and Spirit Guide Portraits, and there is so much more to it than that -
A few weeks ago, my fiancé and I were visiting the Henry Chapman Mercer Museum and while there, we noticed many of the books on Mercer’s library shelf to be spirit-related and thus asked the tour guide if Mercer believed in The Spirit World and was in contact with it.
Our tour guide stated that Mercer believed himself to be an artist and that many artists also believe themselves to be conduits for something higher than themselves.
Most artists, however, don’t come outright and say what they’re inspired by, so it can often be hard to tell what is Spirit Art and what may not be.
There are many types of spiritual art and artists
Mixed Media Artists
Oil Painters and Illustrators
Oracle Deck Creators
Singer-Songwriters, also Performers
Public Speakers
Poets
Inspired Writers
Space Designers
And Many More
Anything that you would consider an art, can be spiritually inspired, coming from the ethers within or without.
Spirit Artists channel paintings, readings, drawings, symbols and lyrics into physical art which is then shared and contributes to the advancement of Earth’s consciousness.
Spirit Art is anything channeled with the intention to be a message from the Divine. Some messages are received visually, audibly, and in dreams.
How To Practice Spirit Art
Choose your medium! That is, how you're going to bring the message you've received through to the physical. Are you into writing, painting, singing or another craft?
Many spiritual arts are verbal or visual creations, something you can hear, touch and/or hold, or something meant to take in with the physical senses
Anytime you have an inspired message, vision or creation come through, write it down and make plans to create it in some form.
Many Spirit Artists will receive their art in “downloads,” meaning that everything comes at once or in a sudden ah-ha, then going through breaks of not receiving at all, generally meant for the artist to create their download, before receiving again.
How The Art Can Come Through
Depending on what your gifts are, some art forms will come through clairvoyantly (as in, you’ll receive what needs to be brought through via vision or dream), and others come through via clairaudiently and claircognizantly, meaning you’ll receive what needs to come through via thought form or message.
Sometimes, you simply may get a strong feeling or the inspirations as written words in visions.
Why Spirit Art Is Created
Messages from The Spirit World, including those brought through for tangible means, are intended for assisting in the evolving the collective unconscious and to raise collective vibration towards joy.
Thus, art in the form of created beauty inspires all who need it, in all the different ways we take things in.
Not all pieces that can be defined as Spirit Art are mentioned as such, and not all Spirit Art is 100% channeled from the Divine - most is a co-creation between:
The conduit, being the artist and their life experiences
The channel they receive through, where it comes from, the source
Those the message is intended for, the intended receiver, the audience, sole or mass
Many Spirit Artists will receive in the method that is most accepted to the audience they are meant to serve, as part of their soul purpose. Thus, it can’t always be controlled what is created by each artist, when it’s created, or for whom the art is meant to appeal to the most.
Whether you're picking up a piece of Spirit Art, or creating it, both -
They are part of life's biggest gifts and next time you see a particularly spectacular performance remember... it may have just been a medium, also sometimes known as a Spirit Artist, who created it.
