Please enjoy the third in my Spiritual Heroes portrait series: the beloved Ramana Maharshi. (11″ x 14 oil on panel)
Warning: I’m about to get real… Those who know me (behind the standard facade of personality, identity, history, name, appearances, bla bla bla) are aware I’ve been a mystic at heart from the very beginning. Born fascinated with the big questions in life, it occurred to me as a young child to inquire, “Who Am I?” The question came from the innate knowing there is no separate self, despite finely tuned adornments of personality/names/labels/identities/stories/conditioning. However, I was absolutely NOT prepared for what happened upon asking this powerful question of “Who Am I?”
“I” disappeared! Completely.
Along with the world!
The entire illusion of Maya dissolved instantly. Only that which is real remained. The formless. That which is never born, that which never dies.
There are no words to describe this pure causeless, timeless, spaceless, attribute-less infinity. Great volumes, texts, religions and philosphers all point to this ultimate truth which cannot be taught, cannot be learned, cannot be described… which, however, can be felt so clearly within Ramana Maharshi’s gaze. Empty of false self, yet so full… of the formless, the real, the changeless. Beyond all concepts beyond the world of relativity.
Therefore, I invite you to look into Ramana’s eyes to express what I would never ever be able in words.
What do you see? Please share in the comments below.

Please enjoy my recent oil portrait of Thich Nhat Hanh.

This is 11” x 14” (inches), and it’s oil on board.

If you are interested in this piece and you’d love to add it to your collection, please send me a direct message.

Second (though by no means ranked) in my Spiritual Heroes series, Thich Nhat Hanh. Peace, compassion and love were the magic that flowed painting this beautiful hero of mine. He exudes effortless strength in his divine humility, perfect clarity of the deepest wisdom and the unconditional love of a realized master. He has had an incredible impact on my life for which I will be forever grateful.

Emptiness is not something to be afraid of, said Thich Nhat Hanh. The Heart Sutra teaches us that form may be empty of self but it’s full of everything else. Thich Nhat Hanh embodies that divine, inexpressible quality which is simultaneously nothing and everything… the beauty of pure, unconditional love.

Who are your Spiritual Heroes? How has Thich Nhat Hanh impacted your life? Share in the comments!

Much love, Juliane 💕

“Jesus Christ” 11″x14″ Oil on Panel 

Just in time for Easter, still drying on the easel, the latest oil painting from my series of Spiritual Heroes.


Painting Jesus was certainly daunting… I could only surrender completely, asking him to take over. This oil painting has an energy alluding to the two thousand years which have passed while honoring the humility, love and power of Spirit.


Painting portraits is the most beautiful, intimate process. Spending hours with each individual absolutely incredible which is why I’ve chosen to paint my spiritual heroes- for with whom better than they, to share heart and soul? Not to mention I’m now surrounded by the beautiful energy of (so far 3) of my spiritual heroes in my home every day! It’s an indescribable experience to bask in this energy.


What are your thoughts? Who are your spiritual heroes?


Stay tuned… I’ve been very busy in the studio painting yet haven’t been so good at sharing them all!  I’ll be catching up on sharing the rest in this series and more:)


DM for purchase details or to have a portrait (pets too!) landscape or anything else painted for yourself or your loved ones.
Love,
Juliane 💕

This gorgeous, old, climber in Chatham, MA begged to be painted.  

I recall my father describing his great joy in climbing about the limbs of such trees as a young boy.  I too have always loved and had tremendous respect for trees.  They take me back to childhood… Their power, grace & often imposing wisdom of living hundreds of years- like the one pictured here in my painting.  

This is a very expressive, childlike painting about innocence and the power of presence.
