Join us as we gather in healing through connection, to each other, to creation and to ourselves. This small circle aims to facilitate healing using art, specifically paint pouring. Your host, Melanie will guide you as you create and connect.
No art experience is required, just an open mind to explore. There will be guided meditation, opportunities to share and connect with each other (to build community and support) and you will receive 2 canvases to create your paintings. All supplies are included in your ticket price.
Space is limited intentionally to create an intimate environment. We are looking forward to healing alongside you.
Melanie has spent the majority of her life creating, collecting,
observing and appreciating art. From early on in life she found art
to be a safe space to create without limits, without rules and
without judgement. As she searched for her career entering
university with the intent to leave with an education degree, to
nannying, to bar-tending, to commercial real estate and a whole lot
more in between the one thing that always remained constant was her
ability to pick up a paint brush and get lost in the magic that is
creation. She is now a career artist that has taught herself all
that she knows through trial and practice. Through her training as
a Doula in birth work she has been able to open up her healing
abilities in holding space for individuals to enter their right
brains. She is also certified in Reiki Level 1 and is continuing
her studies in energy work and healing modalities. Her art is
created with love, with purpose and to create emotion. From
landscapes to pet portraits to the occasional political piece she
has not limited herself in what she will create. She is eternally
grateful for all the people that follow, support, purchase and
enjoy her art.
Before there was agriculture there was art. The human race valued art before they valued growing and harvesting their own food. I think this fact proves that we need art to truly survive here on earth. For me art has always been a place to escape to, a place where I am safe, where there are no rules and no wrong turn to take. I value the process as much as I value the finished product. Where there was once nothing but somewhere along the way as the magic flows through me and into my brush a new world is created, or an existing one enhanced and emphasized. A friend once described a landscape I painted by saying “that is exactly how I imagine you see the world”. Adding strokes of colour or changing proportions where theses things aren’t seen to the naked eye, but to the eye full of magic. I see light, I see darkness, and I see colour in all things. As my career develops I am learning that there is nothing I am more grateful for than my freedom to create. I am grateful for so much in my life, but my art, my talent, my gift, there is nothing greater than this. Thank you, for being a part of my journey, and for being apart of our mother earth, Melanie
