Atousa Raissyan is an award-winning transformational digital artist, certified Energy Healer, and a Shaman.  Her art and her healing and spiritual practice are intertwined.  Her colorful contemporary artworks starts out as simple photographs of nature.  She then digitally transforms the photograph by various layering, manipulating, and drawing techniques.  Atousa uses her intuition, energy, and image formations as guides to create her artwork. 

Just as we are formed by these layers of habits, beliefs and personas, her art is made up of layers of photos, colors, and drawings, morphed together to represent each step of our transformation.  Once complete, the artwork then becomes a limited edition print, that her clients can choose the size and print medium (metal, canvas, and acrylic.) Her audience always engage with her artwork, since they can also see and feel their own transformation and energy in it, or what they wish for their transformation and energy. She believes that digital art is the wave of the future, a natural progression of art on canvas.  Digital world gives her more freedom to bring out her imagination into life, something that is not accomplished easily with paint and canvas.  Her canvas is her computer screen and her brush the mouse, the colors and options endless. 

She is a Featured Artist at Children's National Hospital Center in Washington DC since 2015, in addition to being commissioned Children's National Medical Center's Creative and Therapeutic Arts Services, to create an artwork based on hand artworks received from patients; this artwork was called Healing Hands and is on permanent display at the hospital.
