Debra Saum is an internationally respected Animal Artist and Animal Intuitive whose award winning “Talking Art” is known for its revolutionary ability to ignite inter-species communication between the subjects in her portraits and the people who enjoy their vibrantly colorful canvases. Because of the telepathic conversations she has with the animals she paints, each portrait contains a frequency which stimulates further psycho sensory communication.
Her fascinating work affords her plenty of provocative and other-worldly moments. Like the time she conversed with a lion who sat no more than one foot away, talking about his heart-rendering message to mankind while she snapped the photographs she would later use to create his beautiful portrait. Or the conversations she had while painting Lassie, a spunky, deceased mare whose insightful messages from spirit talked about her charmed life in a well known Animal Sanctuary in upstate New York. Lassie’s portrait hangs today in the Sanctuary’s hall where she continues to conduct telepathic sessions with the students who go there to learn about Animal Communication. Or the moment when Alana, a beautiful Arabian filly announced she was “smelling the emotions” when asked why horses like to investigate the manure of their herd members. Alana’s matter of fact sixth-sense observations confirmed the higher consciousness that all animals posses.
Having painted hundreds of famous animals, horses, endangered wildlife and the beloved pets of caring humans, Debra’s 30+ years of experience has taught her that inter-species communication changes the way people think about not only the animals in their life, but about themselves and their relationship to the universe. In her popular Equine Communication Clinics and Animal Intuition Workshops, participants learn that telepathic interaction is a natural and powerful way to connect with all life. During her numerous television and radio appearances, viewers and listeners enjoy the sometimes humorous but always poignant messages their favorite animals have for them. Upon completion of her “Talking Art” commissioned pieces, the lively conversations that transpired during the portraits’ creation surprise and delight the humans who seek to better understand their four-legged companions.
Debra’s introduction to horses was a unique adventure that started when she was a teenager but was fortuitously interrupted, destined to return when she was a woman in her late 50’s. Her serendipitous relationship with Romeo was her first real introduction into the world of horse ownership, and also the beginning of a personal transformation she could never have predicted. Inspired by how profoundly the equine spirit has touched her life, she has written a book about Romeo and the many enlightened animals she has encountered in her work. Titled “Trained by a Horse…A True Story about a Telepathic Gelding Named Romeo”, it will be available in 2010.
Debra resides in Encinitas, California with her husband and their three shelter kitties Kilauea, Oscar and Felix and their rescued lab Sophie. Romeo lives at a facility nearby and continues to be her straight- shooting muse and confidante.
