A Three-Month Online Group Program by Yana Beylinson and Victoria Herrera
Join us for this transformative new program
Building on the success of The 777 Course, The Art of Becoming will allow us to work intimately with a select group of artists, guiding you through a deep exploration of your craft and career.
Art can be profoundly shaped by spiritual tools and beliefs. Many artists draw inspiration from spiritual practices, seeing them as pathways to access deeper layers of creativity, meaning, and self-expression. Spirituality often provides artists with a lens for exploring themes like interconnectedness, identity, purpose, and transformation. This can be expressed through symbols, colors, forms, and even in the process of creating art itself, where ritual and mindfulness may play a role.
Using spiritual frameworks can also invite a sense of the sacred into the artistic process, transforming it from a mere technique into a deeply personal expression of one's beliefs, values, and connection to something greater.
Whether artists view art as a channel for healing, insight, or self-discovery, the infusion of spirituality often enriches their work with layers of hidden meaning and symbolic resonance, inviting viewers to engage with the work on both emotional and spiritual levels.

Yana Beylinson is a contemporary painter based in New Jersey, outside of New York City. She has exhibited at the Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art, Cape Cod Museum of Art, Principle Gallery, The High Line Nine Galleries, and more. Beylinson had two solo exhibitions at Abend Gallery in Denver, CO. She is on the faculty of Realism Live 2024.
After coming to the United States as a refugee in 1995, Beylinson earned her BBA in Baruch College and eventually started her graphic design and illustration business. With an ultimate goal of becoming a full-time successful artist, she went through a series of intense spiritual transformations to achieve her goal.
Her journey into spirituality began about 20 years ago, with an occasional meditation or a yoga class. After some painful life events, Beylinson started to invest time and effort into her spiritual practice. It became her touchstone and an irreplaceable part of her life.
MEET YANA
Yana has spent 20 years integrating spirituality into her life and creative practice.
Victoria Herrera is an award-winning fine artist based in Montclair, New Jersey. Her representational paintings are held in collections across the United States and internationally. Known especially for her large-scale botanical works and realistic portraits, Victoria’s style is distinctly modern, yet her process is grounded in classical artistic training.
Victoria’s paintings blend realism and abstraction, light and shadow, creating works infused with mystery and imagination. Her art often highlights hidden symbolism and explores themes of spirituality.
While traveling in Italy in 2008, Victoria fell seriously ill, spending over a month in the hospital and several days in a coma. This near-death experience sparked a profound search for meaning and balance in both her life and art career. Years of study led her to holistic approaches that emphasize continuous self-awareness and adaptability. Mindfulness and adjusting to the present, while pursuing both short- and long-term goals, have become essential to her artistic growth and personal well-being.
MEET VICTORIA
Victoria is an award-winning artist with years of experience in holistic practices for artistic and personal growth.
