Moriah Thielges

Traditional // Digital // Educator // Explorer // Alchemist // Human Spirit


Moriah Thielges is an award-winning artist currently living in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Utilizing portraiture that connects humans to the natural world, she creates “artistic alchemy” which seeks to take the experiences, emotions, and grit of the human journey and turn them into gold. Using bold colors and visionary elements, Moriah’s work reminds us of our own inherent magic held in the human spirit. Her journey of visual art has included many media, including watercolor, acrylic, colored pencil and digital painting.

In addition to her work as a visual artist, she has taught visual arts for nine years. Working in both public school settings and community organizations, Moriah has enjoyed bringing the spark of human creativity to people in the Twin Cities area and around the world. She is also a tarot reader, reiki healer, human design practitioner, and spiritual coach who works with individuals to help them embrace their whole, authentic, intuitive self to live their experience with the fullest joy.


“When each day is the same as the next, it’s because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

Happy 8/8 Lion’s Gate Portal 🦁 ⭐️ 🌀 Most of the portal days - 2/2, 4/4, 7/7 - are nice to observe, but I’ve never had any significance with them. But something about this August energy has always had incredible impacts in my life. Por
It is that time again. This uniquely beautiful and bizarre stretch in early August where the energy buzzes. Happy Lughnasadh everyone! This week leading into 8/8, the Lion’s Portal, has become a time when I have had some incredible leaps into
That time again. The wheel is turning and we are along for the ride. This month feels like a distinct shift. The past few months have felt like swinging from energy to energy, not quite disconnected but not quite cohesive. Definitely linear or seque
I’ve been really thinking about the importance of safe spaces lately. How important they are for regulation and self care - the deep kind that allow you to lay down the layers that build up over time. Having a soft place to land as you seek and
“Resist” has become a common word these days. T-shirts, bumper stickers, even tattoos. I understand the reasoning - to see many things that feel like destruction, oppression, cruelty. To see a system that wants you to feel powerless and s
