Welcome to Eden Rein Arts!
Artist Statement
I specialize in creating mesmerizing and vibrant portrayals of nature, blending a touch of realism with a whimsical flair, using a variety of mediums including acrylic, oil, and pastel.
My artwork is as an expression of my own healing from a traumatic upbringing. As a result, it is a catalyst to bring healing to others. And when we heal our own wounds, we make the world a better place.
How Did I Get Here?
I did not graduate from an Art University
I had a challenging upbringing—my mother criticized my third grade art project and told me to throw it away
I don’t consider myself a good sketcher
I don’t practice art, I just create what is in my heart
How did this happen? There’s only one answer.
I have a Divine gift. Just like you have a Divine gift.
And what we do with our gifts is up to us. I didn’t use my gifts for most of my life because I listened to the wrong people, including myself.
Until one day, I couldn’t suppress it anymore and it came pouring out.
My Art Journey
Hi, I’m Eden and I’m a multifaceted Visual Healing Artist living in Southern California. It is my hope that my nonlinear artistic journey will help inspire others to pursue their dreams and passions no matter how difficult the journey and no matter when in life they begin.
My earliest memory of creating art was in the second grade when my classmates noticed my drawings and asked me to draw for them. This prompted the idea that I could become an artist. However, I quickly dismissed the notion thinking I could never make a living at it.
Still, I found myself in a drawing class in the sixth grade and in an Art class in my Senior year of High School where I remember many of the lessons to this day.
Where it Really Began
After High School, there wasn’t an inkling of becoming an Artist. My mindset was on surviving and having a roof over my head since my family moved to Alaska and I chose not to go with them. I was 18 and had no idea where I was going to live, but Thankfully, God was looking after me. I went on to pursue various careers, all the while I dreamt of creating art.
Finally, in 2018 I listened to my heart’s yearning and began art lessons at the School of Art in Costa Mesa, where I was introduced to Pastel painting. Starting with my first “practice” piece of a hummingbird, I began incorporating the heart symbol in my paintings and eventually, the spiral and infinity symbol. Thus, the tag line, “Find the Hearts in my Art”.
In March 2020, I was unexpectedly laid off, which opened the door for me to paint more at home. To my surprise, when I posted on social media my first pastel painting of two lovebirds, people asked if prints were available. Then a neighbor asked me to paint a portrait of her dog and the rest, as they say, is history.

Artwork for Your Sanctuary
I began watching YouTube videos of other artists on acrylic and oil painting, and with each painting I created came a story of Divine serendipity.
As I continue to create more artwork, I’m bewildered as to where this gift and natural talent came from. I would often stay up painting into the wee hours of the night—or morning, getting lost in the zone and having no concept of time.
Finally, when I’ve reach exhaustion, I would sit back in a chair about 10 feet away from my easel and stare at what I had painted, in awe and mystified as to how I had created that work of art.
I hope my journey has inspired you to think about what dreams, gifts, and talents lay dormant within you that you wish to express and share with others. I now invite you to explore some of my Healing Artwork to discover what calls to you—which you will know—and bring it home to your Sanctuary. I look forward to seeing what resonates and speaks to YOU!
