Like many, my spiritual journey started at a young age, I felt, saw, and simply just knew. I knew there was more, especially when some of my dreams came to fruition. I simply didn’t understand how to interpret how that came to be. I would lose myself in my art, writing poetry and short stories. I dabbled in giving Tarot readings to friends and my self-growing up but did not fully embrace the power of the cards until later. Nor did I realize that my creative artwork could connect to Spirit. I certainly was not aware of what a guide was or could be.
As an adult, I began to glean the validity of the signs given to me, but still didn’t know what they meant, or how to listen and trust them, so they mostly went ignored, until I was given clear direction to search for classes about intuition. This is when I came across Amy Garber and The Enlightened Soul Center. Eureka! There were actual classes to help one understand and continue to develop one’s intuition and psychic medium ability. I took as many classes as one could take but was ultimately transformed through the Divination class when I realized I can be of service to others doing what I love. Inspiration hit when we engaged in readings using art books and colorful pictures. I thought, wait, what if I could use my skill as an artist and writer to share the messages during the reading. But how do I do this?
Then I met Tonya Henderson, an intuitive psychic artist and coach and I leveled up. I gained confidence in my abilities and trusted I could bring the beauty of art into my work. I was already sharing messages through Tarot, art books, and Oracle Cards. I was participating in Psychic Fairs at the center and in various venues including private events. I could do this. I could add art and make it personal.
I connect with Spirit, and work to bring messages brought to me from your spirit guides, celestial beings, ancestors, animal totems, or others. These messages are what your guide(s) wish you to know. They can be messages about current, future, or prior events. They may guide you in a question you have. They may show you a depiction of what they look like or how they present themselves to you. In essence, as a Spirit Guide Messenger I bridge connections by creating personal visionary artwork, depicting images, symbolism, and messages that you take with you to remember and reflect. I am always in awe of the messages and pictures that come through for a client. Each one is so unique.

Benjamin Joseph Suydam isn’t the typical hawker, wheeler and dealer. At festivals, he hangs back unobtrusively — approaching only when the looker is intrigued with a specific work. (Having seen his booth at various fairs, I can attest that something inevitably catches the eye and draws you in for a closer look. It’s then you find your spirit subconsciously crooning in recognition of kinship to a particular print or painting’s motif.)
