I've Always Seen The World in Symbols

Why I Created By Dwyn

By Dwyn grew from merging my creative life with my personal love of the moon, astrology, and journaling. I hold a degree in graphic arts, but my most important credentials come from my many trips around the sun and all the lessons I’ve learned along the way. I’ve always had a creative streak that helped me connect the dots to make sense of it all.

I created this space for women who feel the same pull to express their lives more intentionally, fully, and authentically. You don't need to call yourself an artist.  All you need is to be someone who knows there's more meaning in the world than you've been given room to explore. This is that room.

Who I Am

I'm an artist and creative mystic / a Creatrix.

I have a gift for finding connections. I love adding symbols and glyphs to my art to add a secret conceptual layer of a feeling or concept. For example, a moon phase and a feeling, a tarot card and a season, a color and a memory. That thread of connection is what By Dwyn is built around.

I work in mediums that allow my intuition freedom over precision, like acrylic, inks, watercolor, collage, and sometimes graphic art.  My style is a mix of bohemian and symbolic: layered, imperfect, and rooted in the natural cycles, archetypes, and the celestial. 

Art isn't something I do alongside my spiritual practice. For me, they're the same thing.
