About Mieke Fleurackers
If you've ever felt that there's more to life than what we can see, and that the people we lose are not truly gone, you're in the right place. This is where I paint.
My story
Art as Alchemy
I've been painting for over thirty years. But painting only became something more after my beloved son Lars crossed over to the spirit world. In the depths of grief, painting became my lifeline, and that's where my spiritual awakening began.
I went on to study mediumship at Atelier Ohm in Antwerp and at the Arthur Findlay College, and slowly my painting and my connection with Spirit became one.
I still feel it every time: a tingling in the back of my neck when the spirit world confirms something, and a warm wave of love and joy when they draw close.
Painting as alchemy
To me, painting is alchemy. It's a crossroads between the material world and the spiritual one, as above, so below. Every brushstroke can be part of the Great Work: becoming who you truly are.
After thirty years, this is what I know. Painting doesn't have to be a struggle. It can be fun, pure expression, free of judgement. Your paintings can show you who you are at your deepest, and why you're here. And over time, they can teach you to love yourself a little more.
I never claim to know the only way. Connecting with the spirit world can be as varied as people are. You can paint intuitively with colour, work with symbols, or go deep into alchemy. I share what I've lived and learned, and I hold a safe space for you to find your own way.
Today I share what I've learned in the Spiritual Painters Sanctuary, a safe place to practise art and mediumship, to give it real time, and to keep growing. And sometimes I paint for you: a message from spirit, or a painting for someone you miss.
What I do
My own work is born from the mystical, a playful dance between worlds. I simply love to paint: it connects me to all that is, to source.

Beyond the studio
I live in Baasrode, Belgium, with my husband Chris and our daughter Amber. I love plants, yoga, travelling and long walks in nature, and I hold a second dan black belt in karate. By day, I work nine to five in prevention and public health. I'm a mother, a woman who has walked through the darkest dark and found the light again, and someone who still believes in wonder. Now more than ever.
