HI, I'M TANYA!
I’m a multi-stylistic artist and unconventional watercolouist with a love of creating emotional landscapes and portraiture.
As an artist, healer and educator living in beautiful BC, Canada, I am inspired by the nature around me. But also combinations of colour and texture in everyday items and fashion.
I love trying different styles and techniques as a multi-passionate creative. But I’ve discovered I really enjoy the challenges of watercolour. And pushing boundaries of working with it in to what I call a non-traditional style. No delicate pastel washes for me, thanks. I love the saturated and metallic watercolors that dance with energy and vibration!
After years of doing photorealistic acrylics, watercolors are the exact opposite. Here you are painting around the highlights, which actually requires planning. And as a not so into planning kind of girly, I often find myself going back to old techniques. Except now I’m literally in some cases using hundreds of layers to build up the intensity that I got instantly from acrylics. It’s been such a brain twister to learn how to work in a completely different way – but that’s part of why I love it.
The last couple years I’ve enjoyed explored abstracts to emotional landscapes and now back to portraiture – which is even more demanding. Secret share: portraying hair in watercolour is a next level challenge!
why I do what I do
As a creative, highly sensitive and emotionally aware kind of gal – I’ve always had a resonant awareness of our relationship to earth and spirit. We are all connected. And many of these ‘forgotten’ ties are stirred back to life when the soul recognizes it is safe in the body. Much of my work helps awaken and re-establish this awareness and connection.
Whether it’s an abstract landscape or emotionally resonant portrait, the work is connecting with you. Your experiences and memories. Expressing a story that is as individual to you are your own uniqueness.
With a background as an educator and a healer, all my work is a continuation of my life long drive and need to support others in their healing and awareness of self. I feel very privileged to be able to create this work and it has become a calling as opposed to simply an expression.
other projects and art streams
In addition to this work, I also create spiritual art channeled with high frequency energies. Bringing through messages of love and support for individuals on their spiritual awakening path. You can find my artwork and a world of spiritual awakening discovery over at LightcodeARTS.com and via my weekly YouTube videos
As an artist and joy-filled creator being, I’m fortunate to spend my days painting, channeling spirit, teaching and inspiring wonderful people all around the world.
I hope that you love my art and that it brings you a sense of light, calm and joy filled emotions.
