Art that heals. Ritual that awakens. Experiences that transform.

Multi-sensory, therapeutic art experiences for awe, relaxation & play — for that is where the human spirit remembers itself.

Lulu McPharlin

Therapy Artist • Experience Designer • Nervous System Whisperer

Hi, I’m Lulu — the artist behind the awe and founder of Emerge EXP and Emerge Art Spa. Emerge is my multidisciplinary nomadic studio that creates immersive experiences that blend art, technology, psychology, ritual, somatic wisdom, and neuroaesthetics to support emotional wellbeing, insight, and wonder.

My work is therapeutic but not clinical. It’s a sensory invitation for the body to soften, the imagination to open, and the spirit to play.

Now Emerging

Art Oracle Experience and Prints, Human Nature Art Collection, Psychedelic Integration card deck, art meditations, waiting in wonder lobby experience, and a mindful photography retreat.

As Featured In

My art experiences are featured in spas, retreats, resorts, galleries, vineyards, distilleries, festivals, wellness spaces, and retail outlets that want to offer their guests dynamic, unforgettable experiences filled with beauty, imagination, and emotional depth.

Client Testimonials

The Lotus Center

"I bought a piece of art from Lulu's Human Nature Collection that saw straight into my soul! I've never cried at the sight of an art piece before now. I will treasure it forever."

Julie

“Lulu’s photography retreat was deeply inspiring. Her guidance helped us slow down, connect with our senses, and see the world in an entirely new light. Her passion and expertise made the experience not only enjoyable, but truly transformative."

New Creations are Emerging!

I am looking for spaces that want to offer their guests truly unique, unforgettable, and dynamic experiences. If you’re curating a spa, retreat center, gallery, creative retail space, vineyard or distillery, or wellness space, I’d love to show you some possibilities and discuss some awe-inspiring installations that will transform your guests and wow them with new and evolving experiences to keep them coming back.

New Environments are Emerging!

I also offer neuroaesthetic consulting for spas, retreats, clinics, galleries, and creative brands looking to elevate their environments through dynamic and responsive sensory design. Using principles from psychology, somatics, and the science of awe, I can help transform spaces into calming, inspiring, and emotionally resonant sanctuaries. I can craft a responsive experience that supports relaxation, connection, and wonder for your guests.
