[FIRST NAME GOES HERE] Sneak Peek: The Light Returns Residency 🎨✨


video preview

Hi Reader,

Yesterday, I shared my exciting new project with you—The Light Returns Residency.

Today, I’m inviting you behind the scenes with a special sneak peek! Here’s a short 30 minute video of me working on the first piece in the collection: Watch the sneak peek here. It's kind like if a VLOG and a Podcast had a baby and it will give you an idea of the type of exclusive content you can expect if you become a patron of the project.

But for this project to truly shine, I need your collaboration.

I’ve created ways for you to be part of the process—whether through behind-the-scenes updates, exclusive perks like original artworks and prints, or even a chance to have a personalized piece made just for you.

And this residency isn’t just about art—it’s about creating good for others.

10% of patron contributions will be donated to nonprofits supporting CA fire relief and the NC Artist Disaster Relief Fund.

20% of profits from the sale of art created during the residency will also be donated.

Your support will help bring this project to life, spreading hope, light, and creativity in a time when the world needs it most.

Thank you for always being part of my journey—it means everything.

Together We Rise,
-Alisha

From The Desk of Alisha WielfaertThe Painted Way & Yoke and Abundance Celebrating The End Of The Light Returns Collection Dear Reader, My studio's been a total wreck since I began The Light Returns Residency. I like to paint in a clean, organized, tidy space, but mostly, I don't keep things that way while working. Flashback to when I was 15 my family moved into a house that would become my parents' forever home. I was told I could paint my room whatever color I wanted. Being a moody 90s...
