Elaina the Aligned Artist
Your Soul's Creative Gift is Authentic Expression.
Elaina's Story, Your Story
You sit in your studio, surrounded by canvases splattered with vibrant colors and notebooks filled with lyrics and poetry. Your journey as an artist began in childhood, where you'd spend hours doodling with crayons, finding wonder in the simplest of shapes and lines. As you grew older, your passion for art blossomed into a deep-seated desire to express your truest self through your creations. Your creative gift lies in your clarity and commitment to authentic expression.
Every stroke of your brush and every melody you compose is infused with your unique perspective and voice. Whatever your chosen career path, you poured your heart and soul into your work, allowing your emotions and experiences to shape each piece. For you, creative expression isn’t just a hobby—it is a lifeline, a way of connecting with your own inner wisdom and the world around you on a profound level.
You have always had a need to have a consistent creative practice to nourish and support your personal life. Making time for your creative pursuits infuses your life and work with meaning and purpose.
Despite your passion, you often struggle with self-doubt and the pressure to conform to external expectations. You worry about staying true to your artistic vision, fearing that you might lose yourself in pursuit of recognition or success in your career. Through time spent in deep reflection on your own and with others, you are learning to quiet the voice of your inner critic and embrace your soul's visionary and intuitive depths with confidence.
Through your soul's creative gift, you found your purpose—to create beauty that resonates with others on a deep, soulful level. You no longer feel the need for external validation; you simply want to share your truth with the world in the hopes that it might touch someone else's heart. As you continue on your journey as an aligned artist, allow a sense of peace and fulfillment to wash over you, knowing that you are living authentically and making a meaningful impact with your authentic creative expressions.
Now that you know your Soul's Creative Gift, it is time to Craft the Next Chapter of Your Life.

Hi, I'm Minette
I'm a modern day Renaissance woman.
I am an artist, author, creative guide and a rebel, leader, deep thinker and asker of curious questions.
I am definitely Elaina the Aligned Artist who has always needed creative expression in my life. I used to struggle with need to please others or to create work that others admired. Once I really focused on only pleasing myself, everything else became so much more clear.
I have had multiple careers and am on my third business, my books are on topics as diverse as relationships, marketing and time management and I don't have a signature style in my art work.
Yet it's all worked. And each different thread has brought me to this moment now where I can finally be my most authentic self and am living a life I love doing work that makes a difference.
I'm 59, it took me a hot minute to get to this level of clarity and I can still fall into the trap of imposter syndrome from time to time.
When you start to embrace your soul's creative gift and stop trying to fit in to someone else's idea of a creative life, magic happens and your purpose becomes clear.
Here's the truth: you have many life purposes and they shift and change along with your interests and passions of the moment. Be where you are now. Be Elaina. Be you.
