I am not sure this is a marketing strategy. She seems to be someone convinced of her psychic abilities. Often such people are quite serious and not at all cynical and manipulative. There are those who use this idea of channelling as a way of giving their work some spritual authority, while others, and I suspect Heather Pedley is in this category, genuinely see their work being guided by some spirits.
I just tend to look at the resulting work and see the artist's source of inspiration or way in which they saw themselves creating the piece as adding to the background for the work.
I did not mean to sound like I was suggesting she was cyncal and manipulative!
Just that one should consider the context of an ebay ad as a venue for discussing one's spiritual guidance. Everything in there is "promotional" by nature, and takes on a certain "advertising" color that may not be intended. It can put some people off, even if it draws some others in.
