Client Love:

"I first met Allyndaire in the summer of 2020 when my husband and I rented an Airbnb on her family’s property. She was this vibrant, blonde artist, always creating, and I was immediately drawn to her work. Over the next two years, I witnessed her process, including a soul painting for a mutual friend. Seeing that, I knew I wanted one.

When I finally approached Allyndaire, I was blown away by her maturity and depth. We meditated together, discussed the symbols and imagery that resonated with me; mermaids, crystals, thunderstorms, Native American traditions, Archangel Michael, White Buffalo Calf Woman, and even bioluminescence from a magical swim in Costa Rica. I gave her an overwhelming list of inspirations, yet she wasn’t daunted. She approached it strategically, ensuring the painting would fit my space and reflect my essence.

Throughout the process, she kept me involved, sharing progress and asking for input. But the most astonishing moment came when I saw the final piece. She had intuitively painted a heart rock in the water, something deeply personal, representing my late brother. I never mentioned it to her, yet there it was.

When the painting was unveiled, I nearly burst into tears. It felt as if my soul had been captured on canvas. The textures, the details, the way she wove together ocean, rivers, mountains, sunrise, and sunset, it was breathtaking. Originally, I thought I’d keep it private, but now it sits behind me in my virtual office, visible in every Zoom call. It’s not just a painting; it’s me.

Allyndaire is a brilliant artist and an incredibly special human being. I feel privileged to have collaborated with her and to own an Allyndaire original."
