About the Studio

Fernlight studio is where you can find artist and Usui Reiki master, Bee Deratour covered in paint, holding a cup of tea, and endlessly conjuring up new ideas for folks to find their creativity & connect to themselves again. Nestled near the colorful edges of New York’s Adirondack Mountains, this little space is a sanctuary for creativity. However, Fernlight is more than a place - it’s the very essence of Bee - and all they wish to share with the world.

Here, you’re invited to explore, to rest, and to reconnect. Whether you’re drawn to original artwork, intuitive Reiki, grounding experiences, or something else, Fernlight exists as an open door for anyone who believes in the quiet, transformative magic of creativity and soul work.

This is a place to gather.
A place to grow.
A place to come home to yourself, one brushstroke, one breath, & one gentle moment at a time.
You don’t have to perform here.
You are welcome as you are.

I’m Bee - the Artist, Creative healing facilitator, and Nature-loving chaos gremlin behind Fernlight Studio.

I’m just out here, trying to blend the magic of art with the intuitiveness of Reiki and creative healing to create spaces where weirdness is welcome, tenderness has a place, and overstimulated nervous systems can take a break. My work lives where color meets intuition, where healing meets curiosity, and where being human gets to be messy and beautiful at the same time. For me, Fernlight is about where creativity and soul work meet.

I’m queer, autistic, and devoted to accessibility, which means everything here is built with real people and real feelings in mind. A bit playful, a bit soulful, and always human.

Two ceramic containers are holding paint brushes as the focal point of this photo. The left one has brushes etched on the front, the right one looks rainbow shape but is all green. The back is tapestries and an easel.
