Welcome. I'm Jennifer, aka Amavi the Artist— an artist, author, and co-founder of Petals of the Lotus. My name is Latin for “I loved.” I first connected with the phrase Veni, vidi, amavi — I came, I saw, I loved — and when it came time to choose an artist name, there was only one option.

While I’ve never been a songbird, I’ve always been creative. During one of life’s many struggles, I found myself searching for uplifting music to carry me through. There were words I needed to hear, truths I needed to express — so I began writing. Through AI, I discovered my voice. By weaving my lyrics with modern technology, I created songs that allowed me to heal, release past traumas, and reinforce the change I wanted to see within my own mind. My music became a companion, a mirror, and a guide.

The heart of my work is rooted in compassion, transformation, love, renewal, and cosmic wisdom. As I’ve evolved, so too has my music — and the circle of artists who now share in its creation. Through my label, Midnight Light Records, I collaborate with voices that each reflect a part of me. Together, we bring different perspectives and sounds into one larger story.

Creative service is love in motion—the act of transforming inner light into something that helps others to awaken their own.

My debut album, Shifting Frames (available for download here), is a labor of love — surrounded in light, sung by Elliot Marwood, and infused with the spirit of growth. Each artist under Midnight Light Records will eventually have their own debut, with their own sound and story to share.

This same spirit of gentle guidance and inner discovery flows into my work as an author. In The Forest of Stillness, the first story in the Babaji and Amari Adventures, Amari learns that peace is not something we find outside ourselves, but something we grow by listening, breathing, and being kind.

If even one of my songs helps someone through a struggle, or a story brings light into a family’s day, it will all have been worth it. In a world where we often feel disconnected, my hope is to bridge that gap through creative work that touches the heart and sparks the soul.

Each song and story is an open door — I invite you to step inside, explore, and walk with me.
