Britt Michaelian is an artist and healer. Her painting practice incorporates sacred processes and rituals, such as prayer and intention setting, powdered minerals, soil from energy vortexes, healing frequencies, the use of herbs and essential oils, sacred geometry, and quantum healing to create meditative abstract works that explore the theme of Universal life force energy while transmitting healing energy to the viewer.
Michaelian received her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, graduate degrees in Art Therapy and Marriage and Family Therapy, and a certification as an expressive arts therapist in the hospital setting. The culmination of these studies, especially art therapy, led to her current practice that seeks to combine art and healing practices. Her art has been exhibited at galleries in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, New York City, and more, and is in private collections around the world.
Michaelian is an Usui and Karuna Ki Reiki master teacher and BQH quantum healing hypnosis practitioner. She is also the host of The Daily Healing podcast, which launched its second season in December 2023.
She currently lives and works in Southern California.
