Where Spirituality meets Physicality, is a series of abstract landscape paintings by Deb Chaney that were created while exploring into the question; where does spirituality meet physicality? In each painting, the earth/ground represents the physical nature of existence where the artist uses heavy body acrylics and mediums such a modeling paste with raw earth materials such as sand, salt and paper collage to create thick textured earthy matter: "Physicality". The sky/upper portion of each painting represents the spiritual nature of existence where the artist taps into the unseen realm of spirit, faith, surrender, trust, and inner listening allowing these to guide her gestural manipulation of watered down liquid acrylics and polymer mediums to express: "Spirituality". The act and and process of creating these painting allows the artist to gain insight into this question of where and perhaps how spirituality and physicality meet. Each painting reveals its answer to the artist through its final name.

Dear Artist Friend,
Over the last six months I have successful run a Mastermind Group based on the concept presented in Napoleon Hill’s classic 'Think and Grow Rich'. That is a small group of people who are synergistically connected to support each other to achieve their goals and succeed beyond what they could do on their own. We are seeing this now with our group as we continue to move forward with creating our dreams. Its fun, powerful and exciting!
I would like to invite you to join a new group starting this year, specifically for artists and creatives of all genres. This group is different than a basic Mastermind group as it will be co-facilitated with myself and an energy healer intuitive, who will support the group at each meeting on energetic level to clear energetic blocks and beliefs. It is also different as we are inviting artists an creative people only.
The single biggest questions that comes up when I offer this group is what about artists and competition? Let’s start the conversation with this fantastic video speaking directly about competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpD_EnRH5mg And if you’re skipping the video cause you’re busy (totally understand) the bottom line is: There is always room at the top.
Come join us this year, play your best game, and get to the top of your success as you define it.
Details are below in the attached flyer. Registration space is limited. Group is offered online internationally via video conference. There is an application process to join the group, please email me directly for this application form. Only suitable candidates will be accepted into the group - the main criteria being a overall mind set of working together to help others and being wiling to receive feedback and support.
Sincerely, Deb Chaney
PS You may know a creative friend looking for support who’d be interested - pls do kindly forward this information.
Happy New Year 2016!
Over this past year and recently to prepare for the Goals Workshop I am co-facilitating later this month here in Kitsilano, Vancouver, BC I have been reading The Desire Map by Danille La Porte. This book is special because it's not just about setting goals, it starts to tap into the deeper drive of why we set goals: to feel a certain way. In the journey of the book and its adjoining workbook we get to know ourselves at a feeling level and start to discover why we want certain things. Most often we want certain things and desire specific goals in order to feel a certain way. Danielle gets us to the bottom of things and encourages us to determine our top four desired feelings. In realizing that we are predominantly desiring to feel these top 4 feelings... For example, these could be : Appreciation, Peace, Freedom and Creativity.
That being said, I loved this quote from the book “Your life is your art. When you make tough choices in favor of your soul, you’re making a masterpiece of your existence.” and so I placed it on an art piece I made last year.
The artwork in the background is entitled Freedom 60" x 40" x 1.5" Mixed Media on Canvas and is on display, available for purchase, and located downtown Vancouver, BC at Unit #1115 (11th Floor) 555 Burrard Street (Bentall Tower 2). You can make an appointment to see it and a number of other large original pieces by contacting Tarasch Rawjee (604) 306-4912 / tarasch@gmail.com.
