About
Wilhelmina Stöcker | Soulful Artist & Empowerment Guide
Wilhelmina Stöcker is a self-taught Dutch artist whose creative journey began around the age of twelve in The Netherlands. Driven by a love for self-expression and storytelling through color and form, she began painting as a way to make sense of the world and give voice to what couldn’t be said with words.
After a brief stay in British Columbia, Canada, Wilhelmina moved to the United States in 2001. She lived in several states before settling in the charming town of Guthrie, Oklahoma, in 2011, where she continues to create and serve her clients today.
Wilhelmina’s paintings are deeply personal—each one a reflection of inner transformation, emotional evolution, and lived experience. She describes her process as “from soul to canvas,” allowing intuition to guide each brushstroke. Her work is rooted in the belief that art is energy made visible, and that every individual naturally radiates who they truly are, both in life and in what they create.
Working exclusively with acrylics, her current body of work is known for its bold color palettes, layered textures, and emotional depth. Each piece is created to resonate on a soul level—inviting viewers to connect, reflect, and find their own meaning in the art. Her paintings often serve as mirrors, offering comfort, healing, or simply a sense of recognition.
In addition to original works, Wilhelmina offers commissioned paintings tailored to the unique stories and energy of her clients. These personal pieces are created with care, intention, and a deep respect for the journeys they represent. Whether capturing the essence of a transformative season, a personal breakthrough, or a sacred memory, each commission is designed to be both meaningful and enduring.
But Wilhelmina’s passion for transformation doesn’t end at the canvas.
She is also the founder of Bryght Empowered Learning—a coaching and consulting platform where she supports individuals and entrepreneurs in realigning their lives and businesses with purpose, clarity, and self-awareness. Through Bryght, Wilhelmina offers empowerment programs, leadership coaching, and personalized consulting services that help people improve productivity, restore work-life balance, and grow from the inside out.
Wilhelmina believes that whether you are building a business or creating a painting, the most powerful work begins within. Her dual path—as both artist and coach—is unified by a singular mission: to inspire transformation and empower authentic expression.
Her approach is both heart-centered and results-driven, blending creative intuition with grounded strategy. Clients come to her not only for guidance, but for the clarity, presence, and empowerment that arise from working with someone who truly walks her talk.
Whether she’s painting in her Oklahoma studio or supporting a client through personal or professional change, Wilhelmina brings the same energy: intentionality, presence, and a commitment to authenticity.
