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.
but the art establishment IS cynical, manipulative and predjudiced, hence, your frustration with their dismissive attitude towards Hermetic art in general. Marketing and perception is more than half the battle......

I will say, however, that the artwork is charming and has a very Alice in Wonderland sort of quality to it that makes it rather endearing...........
