Fae Willow is the creative and educational work of artist, writer, educator, and intuitive guide Fae Pettie. Her work weaves together art, nature, education, and self-reflection to create meaningful experiences that encourage creativity, curiosity, personal growth, and lifelong learning.
A profound shift in Fae's life began after the passing of her mother-in-law. That loss became a turning point that opened her heart in unexpected ways and deepened her spiritual awareness. Through grief came a transformation that touched every aspect of her life. Along this journey, she lost more than 108 pounds, experienced significant improvements in her health, and began living with a renewed sense of purpose. Meditation, introspection, education, and a growing curiosity about consciousness and the natural world reshaped how she experienced life. Art became a way of processing these inner experiences and translating them into color, form, and symbol.Â
Much of Fae's artwork is created with oil pastels, color exploration, and intuitive drawing, resulting in pieces that feel both playful and contemplative. Themes of nature, consciousness, mythology, healing, transformation, and the human experience appear throughout her work, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and reconnect with themselves and the world around them.
Fae's work is deeply influenced by her love of learning. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science and is currently pursuing her Bachelor, Master, and Doctor of Metaphysical Sciences. Her studies explore consciousness, philosophy, comparative spirituality, symbolism, ethics, intuitive development, and holistic approaches to personal growth. These academic pursuits continue to shape both her creative work and the educational experiences she offers.
In addition to creating original artwork, Fae offers one-on-one tutoring, reflective tarot readings, and is developing future coaching and educational programs centered on personal growth, critical thinking, spiritual exploration, and self-discovery. Her goal is not to tell people what to believe, but to create a supportive space where they can ask meaningful questions, deepen their understanding, and develop confidence in their own intuition and learning.
As a reader and author, Fae creates original art bookmarks designed to accompany people through the pages of their favorite books. She also handcrafts bookmarks, keychains, and other small pieces inspired by nature and memory. Many of her keychains honor her late mother, Tina, whose love of feathers, twine, and beads continues to inspire each handmade creation.
The name Fae Willow reflects the quieter, more reflective identity that emerged through this season of transformation. It represents a life rooted in imagination, nature, contemplation, education, and the belief that creativity and knowledge can become pathways toward understanding ourselves and the world around us.
Whether through artwork, writing, tutoring, tarot readings, future coaching, or educational resources, Fae hopes to create spaces where people feel inspired to learn, reflect, heal, and reconnect with both nature and themselves.
