The founder of Mystic Artistry, providing Life Path Messages, is Susan Smith Cohen.

In a world where creativity intertwines with intuition, Susan emerges as a self-taught artist who embodies the essence of artistic expression and spiritual insight. Gifted with the unique ability of fire scrying, she finds that the flames whisper messages to her, translating their flickering forms into vivid, evocative paintings. Each artwork serves a dual purpose: a visual feast for the eyes and a conduit for profound messages that she carefully documents in writing, sharing her revelations with those who resonate with her insights. Beyond her art, Susan is multifaceted, donning the hats of an author, illustrator, musician, and devoted mother to three grown children, as well as a nurturing grandmother. Her life is a rich tapestry woven with the threads of family, creativity, and compassion. For the past 35 years, she and her husband have dedicated themselves to rescuing dogs, embodying a commitment to compassion for all living beings. This passion for animal welfare is both a reflection of their love for animals and a platform for teaching kindness and empathy to those around them.

As a voice and piano teacher, Susan shares her musical gifts with her students, guiding them to explore their own creative journeys while fostering a love for the arts. She recognizes the therapeutic power of music, and her lessons often delve into more than just notes and rhythms; they explore the emotional landscapes that music can navigate, providing a solace that usually transcends the classroom walls. Moreover, Susan believes in the transformative power of art as a tool for healing trauma. She offers classes where participants learn to harness various artistic mediums in conjunction with fire scrying to express, confront, and ultimately heal from past traumas. Through these classes, participants find not only a creative outlet but also a supportive community where they can explore their inner worlds. Here, art becomes not just a form of expression but a potent pathway to healing, allowing individuals to reclaim their narrative and voice. By blending her talents, Susan creates a nurturing environment where art and healing coalesce, guiding her students and clientele in discovering their own potential while providing them with the tools to process their life experiences. Her paintings, infused with mystical insights from the fire, act as mirrors reflecting the soul, inviting viewers to connect deeply with their own emotions and experiences. As a grandmother, she is looking forward to passing down her love for the arts to the next generation, nurturing creativity in her grandchildren, and inspiring them to embrace their own unique gifts. This familial bond enriches her artistic endeavors, as love and legacy intertwine through creativity, shaping a vibrant, dynamic lineage devoted to compassion, creativity, and music. In essence, Susan's life and work are a testament to the healing and transformative power of imagination, where art becomes a bridge towards understanding, expression, and connection, not only to oneself but to the broader community and world around us.
