Monet Poe
Artist · Intuitive · Alchemist
I believe every soul arrives on Earth with a unique form of magick to share—and I’m here to celebrate that!
Through art, creativity, and intuitive expression, I help others remember their gifts, reclaim their joy, and awaken their creative essence.
I grew up homeschooled, and that choice changed everything.
It gave me the freedom to learn in ways that honored who I truly am—through play, nature, movement, creativity, and deep listening to my inner world. Instead of being told how to learn, I got to discover why I learn. My education was never about fitting in; it was about becoming.
What others may see as broken, I see as your brilliance .
No more boxes!
Every being carries a unique design, and that design deserves space to grow, express, and shine.
I’m here to create, to inspire, to love, and to activate the genius in others. Through watercolor art, Art Alchemy events, intuitive art classes, and photography, I hold space for others to reconnect with their creative truth—and feel seen, celebrated, and free!
I envision a world where children are raised in freedom, rooted in play, and surrounded by nature.
A world where every form of expression is honored.
Where art is sacred.
Where your difference is your gift.
