Today we’d like to introduce you to Adriana Teodoro-Dier.
Hi Adriana, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I’ve learned (and am still learning) that our inner life creates our outer world. We often need guidance to see within ourselves, and I strive to provide this guidance for others: making artwork, performing, teaching piano, or offering real estate support.
I was a professional pianist in Colorado for 10 years after earning a Doctorate from University of Miami (2013). I taught at local universities in Denver, created a private piano studio, performed as a soloist and a collaborative artist. While in Colorado, I also began to explore the spiritual journey. For years I worked every single day with an Intuitive Spiritualist. She taught that self-reflection, emotional growth, and personal connection to a higher power were the keys to deepen one’s intuitive abilities. Along the way, I began helping others with their journey as a SoulGuidance coach, from a proprietary combination of psychological astrology and intuitive guidance.
The more I explored the spiritual journey, the more significant art became to me. As an artist, I am largely self-taught, and I follow my intuition when I’m painting. It allowed me to express and release old traumas and helped me understand my inner child. Most significantly, art helped me reconnect with my true feminine energy. The paintings explore a meditative inner landscape, strongly inspired by the beauty of nature. My work has been displayed in therapeutic businesses and private collections across the United States.
New circumstances unfolded to draw my family to the east coast. Greenville SC continues to be a haven for self-discovery and a chance to help others find their way home (literally and figuratively), whether helping buyers and sellers as a realtor, creating art, performing, teaching piano, or offering SoulGuidance readings.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Art for me is about expressing the inner journey, which by its nature is not a smooth road. Challenging beliefs that one has held subconsciously since childhood is difficult. Facing your own dark personality traits is difficult. Realizing the untruth of beliefs you had about your loved ones is difficult.
My nature is multifaceted, yet I was often told I should choose or focus on one thing. I struggled to understand that doing multiple things IS one thing: it is a flow that expresses love and connection. Creativity is about being outside the box, but we are constantly told that you need to have a niche to be marketable. It makes it very convenient for the algorithm. However, creativity is about expansion and going beyond where and what you did before.
Art IS connection. To me, a phrase in music feels like a flowing curve of paint. I often see pictures, images, and experience strong inner feelings when I perform. Supporting a student’s own artistic instincts is very similar to helping a client clarify what they desire in a home. In all of these disciplines, one must follow one’s intuition…which never stays in a box.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I create abstract paintings inspired by the sacred wisdom of nature: the depths of water, the movement of wind, the endearingly whimsical shapes of young plants, the wise energy of trees, the warmth of sunlight. Each painting explores a dream-like spiritual inner landscape, seeking that unmistakable sense of “all is well”. My process is intuitively guided, and the versatility of acrylics helps the many layers in each piece unfold organically.
I love how flow and color express through my artwork. I am proud to create work that feels true and unique, and at the same time has a special meaning or depth for someone else. I love working in the abstract realm because in a sense, the viewer sees themself through the painting. Their interpretation reflects something about themselves, maybe what they feel about themselves, and thus where they are on their own journey. Each interaction with one of my pieces offers a small moment, an opportunity for self-reflection. And for those who live the inward journey, the paintings become a heartfelt celebration of healing and growth.
