Classes and workshops

This year is rapidly coming to a conclusion. I have been given many beautiful life learning experiences  this year.  I have taught and experienced  workshops and instruction of art and energy work.   This coming year I will be offering more classes in many locations

Reiki, Art and Drumming, energy medicine and energy power centres that make up all aspects of us as physical and energy beings.  Awareness of our authentic self.

Art, Music, and energy medicine such as reiki are some of the modalities to break up dense energy that is hindering one from moving forward in life.

Look for new workshops and classes in the near future.

And, remember, wherever you are, there you go!
Beautiful Abundance

The Balance of Nature

Marjorie and the Guardians of the Marsh

Marjorie – a dear friend of mine was instrumental in reminding me to be more respectful to the earth - something I had not been so diligent in doing since I was a child.  Asking permission from plants and the animals that inhabit the area before one takes for oneself.

Marjorie is s beautiful older woman who adorns herself with amber and has long silver hair.   I have depicted her as the young vibrant warrior goddess that she shines out from her being

This painting is my tribute to her and all the wild things that maintain and keep our planet clean. Birds, insects, plants etc;   The marsh is important for all of us, and These beings present show us that piece of earth is habitable.

Red Wing Blackbirds inhabit marshes; their presence is a sign that the marsh is healthy (or healthy enough in some cases).  Providing food, shelter, nesting material, and water.  All the necessities one needs to live.   They are fierce protectors of their environment.

This artwork also shows the balance of masculine and feminine.   The male and female redwing blackbird.  Marjorie represents the feminine strength, and the cattails the masculine.  There are other images hidden, ancient script and symbols too.

The illusion of bondage

Saraswati the Swan Princess

This painting in a series that Trea is working on, is exploring the different iconic images of the feminine we are exposed to in our lives. 

Layering Fairy tales with religious icons.

In this painting Trea explores:

The fairy tale ‘The Swan princess’, Saraswati the Hindu goddess and a Catholic nun in traditional habit. 

The Swan became the headdress as it reminded her of the “flying nun” and traditional black and white gowns became more ornate and regal. 

Saraswati is the  protector and inspiration to artists and musicians.  In traditional images, saraswati is  transported by a white swan, and Saraswati playing an stringed instrument.

The swan princess a fairy tale, and ballet that Trea was quite taken with as a child, where the woman changes from woman to swan, there are many versions of this tale, where she is either under a spell that can only be broken by true love, or that she is a mythical shape shifter. 

In all the layers of this image, each woman in confined, but in  their own way they are able to express themselves through movement, song and creativity. 

One may come up with many other meanings and insights based on their own life experiences.

The Past Year 2010 - 2011

This past year has brought many changes, as well as many aspects of my life staying the same. I have been on a retreat in my inner being, and this next year will be of creating artwork, music and energy work that supports my being and the environment that is around me!

Art workshops and shows are continually happening.
I have artwork in The Hive Hub in Medicine Hat, as well as Luna Fresca Gallery, both places one should go to be inspired and take home work from local artists.

Music - I have performed at the Hive Hub, Inspire Cafe and Gallery, a few house concerts, and at the singer songwriter evenings in Medicine Hat! I'll be posting my next performance dates.

I send you all thoughts of beautiful abundance!
Trea
