Solène I am in AWE of your talent and kindness and how amazing you translated me into ART. Thank you 🙏 you have no idea how powerful it is what you’ve done for me!

It was a nice experience to do a naked picture of myself. I actually got to see my body and see all the stretch marks, surgery marks and changes that happened in the 41 years of my life… and I appreciate and admire my body for being with me in this journey filled with so many emotions.

Going through the experience of a Sacred Portrayal was so much more than I ever expected, and I loved every minute of it. Solène was so kind and welcoming from the moment I arrived. I knew I was in the presence of someone with compassionate intentions. Obviously getting naked is a personal and intimate act but in this container, it was honestly transcendent to get undressed. I got the chance to really see myself, and I’ve felt a dramatic shift in my confidence since receiving my final artwork. There is something really magical and special about this 1:1 creative exploration of self and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a deep, authentic inner dialogue & spark that will last a lifetime. Big praise & snaps for Solène , a true space holder and lover of humans. Thanks for everything!

I did a Sacred Portrayal with Solène to move through feeling less than happy with my body. Working with her has shot me way past acceptance of my body and straight into embracing every inch of it. This could be life changing if you are feeling anything negative about your body.

My story

Where Sacred Portrayal began.

  1. 2017

    Always drawn to oil paint, I began painting female bodies to heal my own relationship with my body and to question the cultural norms around modesty I grew up with.

  2. 2020

    I take my first portrait commissions and launch Sacred Portrayal while still in school, switching my major to fine art.

    I graduate from Pepperdine University with a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts.
