hello, I’m

Ely

I draw talismans, oracle cards and little worlds full of light — for anyone who needs a place to feel.

[Two or three lines in aélys’s own words: where she lives, when she started drawing, and why she draws what she draws.]

The Love talisman

my first talisman?

I draw what I feel under the sun, the moon and the stars — and I hope that when you look, you feel a little less alone.

— aélys [draft — her own words go here]

what lights the way

my inspiration

the sun

Warmth, courage and beginnings. The colour that comes back every morning, no matter how long the night was.

the moon

Feeling, dreaming and letting go. The quiet light that lets emotions come out safely.

the stars

Wonder and connection. Tiny lights, far apart, that still make one sky together.

from feeling to paper

how a drawing is born

  1. a feeling arrives

    Love, a question, a heaviness, a hope. Every piece starts there, never with a plan.

  2. line by line, colour by colour

    The drawing grows slowly, layer over layer, until the feeling has a shape.

  3. then, its story

    Each finished piece gets a few written words, so it never travels alone.
