Summary & Transcript

[00:00 → 04:56]
Introduction & Early Artistic Journey
The video opens in Maui Meadows at the home of Alana Shapiro Gilmore, an accomplished multi-dimensional artist introduced by the host, Airielle. Alana is described as talented and visually striking, with a personality that mirrors her colorful artwork.

• Alana began engaging with art in childhood, encouraged by her mother through Saturday morning classes.
• Art served as an emotional outlet for her, helping her process feelings and fears throughout her early years.
• Despite early artistic abilities, Alana faced discouragement when someone told her she wasn’t good enough, leading her to keep much of her art private for a time.
• She attended art school for one year, focusing on photography, and later turned professional after a personal life change (separation from her husband).
• Although she earned income through commercial and wedding photography, her passion for painting persisted alongside her photography career.
• [04:56 → 08:42]
  Photography, Weddings & Artistic Philosophy
  Alana shares her love for wedding photography, emphasizing its spiritual and emotional significance:
• Weddings represent a sacred union and are joyful, challenging, and full of love despite occasional family tensions.
• Photography became a way to document love and celebration, which aligns with her heart-centered approach to art.
• She describes her art as “heart art,” coming from deep emotional honesty rather than intellectual or conceptual frameworks.
• Alana’s art is characterized by colorfulness, joy, and warmth, which resonates with viewers on a human, accessible level rather than being “outlandish.”
• She highlights the balance in her work between spirit and body, especially in her depiction of angels that embody innocence, sexuality, and playful naughtiness.
• The artist embraces the innocence and sanctity of sexuality, viewing it as a natural part of spirit and body integration.
• [08:42 → 14:04]
  Artistic Process & Inspirations
  Alana discusses her creative process and sources of inspiration:
• She often works with watercolors on wet paper, allowing colors to flow freely and figures to emerge organically without pre-planning, emphasizing discovery and magic in the creation process.
• Her art includes powerful female archetypes, such as a Nordic woman embodying strength and ruggedness, often inspired by dreams and wish fulfillment.
• Angels appear during times of personal transformation, sometimes offering support during difficult phases.
• Some paintings have taken years for her to understand fully, serving as teachers and guides revealing deeper spiritual messages such as the “three arrows” symbolizing art, music, and healing.
• Photography has taught her to focus and truly see her subjects, reinforcing her decision to concentrate on joy, spirituality, and celebration.
• [14:04 → 20:18]
  Photography Style & Techniques
  Alana shares insights about her unique photographic style:
• She developed an interest in infrared photography to capture the world through her own visionary lens rather than conventional expectations.
• Infrared film highlights the unseen infrared spectrum, rendering trees snowy and ethereal, and softening skin tones to create dreamlike, magical images.
• One notable photo series captures an old sugar mill in Makawao, Maui, transforming it into a mystical scene reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland.
• Alana photographs natural phenomena such as the night-blooming cereus flower under a full moon, blending humor and mysticism by recounting their nighttime photography adventures with flashlights and car headlights.
• [20:18 → 25:18]
  Healing Journey & Art Book Project
  Alana reveals a deeply personal story about her near-death experience and its impact on her art and life:
• She underwent brain surgery to remove a tumor, during which she nearly died but was spiritually supported by family, friends, and healers.
• During this time, she experienced a profound vision of unity and love — a “unified field” where self, God, and all things were one without separation.
• This experience reinforced her faith, deepened her connection to God, and inspired her current joyful, childlike approach to life and creativity.
• Alana is working on a book that combines her healing journey, paintings, and photographs of her children, showcasing the intertwined nature of family, art, and healing.
• She emphasizes the importance of joy, love, and heart-centered creativity as a source of medicine and healing.
• [25:18 → 28:43]
  Philosophy on Creativity & Self-Expression
  The conversation shifts to encouragement and philosophy about creativity:
• Alana stresses the importance of allowing the “inner child” to play freely in art, disregarding judgment and perfectionism.
• She acknowledges the challenge of societal and internal judgments that inhibit creative expression but encourages everyone to express themselves through art, music, or drama as a form of healing.
• The process of self-expression is framed as a vital, liberating force that opens the heart and fosters joy.
• The host and Alana invite viewers to experience workshops, music nights, and community art events that combine singing and painting to nurture spirit and connection.
• [28:43 → 32:28]
  Gallery, Community, and Art Sharing
  Alana’s workspace/gallery is introduced, highlighting her vision for it as a place of creativity and communal healing:
• She plans to host musical nights and workshops to encourage people to sing and paint their own songs and hearts.
• Her gallery serves as a space for sharing art, spirit, and joy with the community, fostering inclusivity and creative freedom.
• The interview concludes with expressions of gratitude and mutual appreciation for art, love, and connection.
• [32:28 → 37:29]
  Selected Artworks & Techniques
  The video showcases several of Alana’s works and creative approaches:

• [37:29 → 41:46]
  Spiritual Experience & Near-Death Reflection
  Alana elaborates on her spiritual near-death experience during brain surgery:
• Describes feeling as if crossing into a place of pure love and unity without separation, where all is God and God is all.
• She did not lose herself but rather expanded her identity and connection with the divine.
• This encounter shifted her life perspective, confirming her path of love, joy, and authenticity.
• The experience is shared to inspire others facing illness or hardship to see possibility beyond suffering.
• [41:46 → 46:37]
  Choice, Faith, and Surrender
  The discussion turns to the ongoing human challenge of choosing love and joy repeatedly:
• Alana emphasizes that choosing joy and faith is a continuous process, not a one-time event.
• Life presents repeated opportunities to fall back into fear or separation, requiring conscious recommitment to love and positivity.
• She shares how surrendering control during her surgery allowed divine intervention and miracles to unfold.
• The conversation highlights the power of faith and the presence of God in all aspects of life, even difficult ones.
• [46:37 → 51:57]

• Host and guests express thanks to viewers and supporters, emphasizing love as a universal, powerful force.

10:12

so focused and tight this is like the colors just go however they go but then out of it emerges a figure so we have a little figure who’s the powerful empress of the lightning so but i don’t i don’t plan it’s like now I will paint a figure that is the diva of lightning it’s just it appears you know I just let the art flow and then out of it comes so there’s always discovery and always magic so I’m always having fun are some of the pieces that you had in art Mellie well actually

10:50

they liked my photography I know it’s show people how amazing you are how you go from like one feeling to the neck I really like my powerful women arc types and I’m just really you know I’m searching I’ve been searching for myself and my art is my mirror and when i see that i can create this i know i can create it in my life too who is this oh i think this is the woman who runs with the wolves she’s wearing all gorgeous furs and she’s a nordic woman she’s you know she’s she lives in the cold and

11:30

she’s rugged and then i have others where do you get your inspiration say to do her with her living in the cold and we don’t live in the cold I know sometimes it’s my dreams and sometimes it’s you know it’s wish fulfillment like oh I wish I feel powerful and then I’ll do something like this and I feel powerful sometimes I look at the blank piece of paper and there’s nothing there and then all of a sudden it’s like I see this image and that I’m just channeling something so

12:08

sometimes i’m just a total blank something just comes through so it really is magic and what happens when your angels come through he paints a lot of angels we have a like this one behind us the angels come at times when I’m doing big transformations and sometimes they’re scary times and it’s sort of like I really need support and then some angel comes in and you know I don’t think I ever be able to do anything like it again and they keep coming and here’s another another one feel good about that

12:53

one about it um well this one I want to say you know this woman was doing she was it at NYU learning to be a screenwriter and she had a script and one of the people in her screenplay was a an artist and she used my art you know she had some actors play the artist and then to use my art and in the movie as the art so that was sort of fun but yeah that was I don’t know I just did a lot sometimes I don’t sometimes it takes me a couple of years to understand what’s come through you know and it’s sort of

13:34

like their teachers I don’t even know why I painted them or I don’t know the significance and then after a couple years it’s like my God look I have three arrows I have art music and healing I’ve the three arrows but there’s no bow to launch them you know I look at these paintings and they’ll teach me something about God I better learn to get these in the world you know I have these talents but there’s no bow I mean that interest tell Anya I think they teach me they’re my

14:04

teachers and my guides I know it’s not the same way with everything in life it’s like sometimes years later we go yeah all right that’s why that had only took me 10 years to figure it out that’s why I did that or painted bad what interested in that right get my mic uncover here and the photography I understand because I’m just like soft focus you know like my eyes roll out and everything we’ve even talked about your guitar but I might allow you gotta do that again I’m very you know soft focus

27:23

expression of any sort music art whatever is drama is healing and that we are all masters and that we live with our judgments that have been laid on us from children but we are all singers we are all painters and I my job is to give loving attention to people and to tell them not to judge themselves and that they can do expressive things and that and I know that that’s very healing for everyone so that’s really think that’s really the biggest thing for everybody is our judgment judgment judgment of

28:03

others judgment of ourselves ourselves we judge ourselves more than anybody else and it was just like that with that if you can spend 13 it’s not comparing yourself to anybody how about three minutes sorry I said I thought nerdy was like a really good number yeah i really encourage you to give that a try it’s really fun and just let that inner child that we talked about let that inner child play because here it’s very satisfying and and it really opens your heart yeah yeah yeah and you can come sing with us yeah we

40:09

me here and I I I don’t know if I crossed over into death but I went very high and I now really know that God is there for us and that God loves us and that I now have faith and I I now can talk to God like like God is an entity and he loves me I was in a place where there was just no separation it was just an open field it was a unified field of love there was no doctor there was no me there was no disease there was no thought it was just unified love and God and we were all God and the amazing thing was I didn’t lose

41:02

anything I just got more I was still neat and I was God and everything was God God was everywhere and everyone and I’ve come back with that and that’s why right now I’m a joyful child discovering life again and I know that this is the right path and I will be true to this path of love and being true and being in delight fear and separation so it’s very beautiful Alana thank you for sharing that I know for many people out there who are ill or who have problems you know it’s hard when you’re sick as we

43:12

choosing right and chew the thing and cheer their wing and choosing because in our life things come up to offer us every opportunity to fall back into the old pattern of not choosing joy or choose need to look at what’s wrong so we have to make sure we do that that’s a great less than you brought up for us today thank you thank you for sharing thank you for listening I’d like to ask a question you don’t have to use this on TV if you want yeah so tell me the story about when you met

43:48

God on the operating table I just did yeah what does it look like me you the doctor thought everything so God is in essence doesn’t have a physical form except the forms we already know yeah so God is another level of ourselves they’re just saying yeah where we all merge as one God is where there is no separation between any of us or between anything it’s just so like sent every every atom is like while I wash scintillating and full of God a thought Adam or tumor Adam scalpel Adam it’s all
