Paintings Selected for Surrey Art Gallery Sales and Rentals Programme

I would like very much to thank the jury and selection panel for the Surrey Art Gallery for choosing five of my large format original abstract paintings for the Surrey Art Gallery Sales and Rentals Programme . The painting shown above ‘Self-Kindness’ i of ii diptych is 36” x 48” x 1.5” mixed media on canvas is satin finish varnished, wired and signed on the back and is ready and available now for your office, home, TV of film set. For immediate rental please  contact Art Rental Manager at artrental@sagabc.com. This one of a kind, textured, unique modern contemporary abstract painting is predominantly snow white in colour with accents of periwinkle, gold and black. We’ll get into the colour meaning and Feng Shui of its mainly white colour in this blog. Self Kindness ii of ii is shown below and of the same measurements and “ingredients” so-to-speak. Both paintings are inspired by the quest to live with a feeling of self love, consideration and empathy.

About the colour white, as its the predominant player in this painting here. White, also referred to as colorless, tintless, uncoloured, undyed, unpainted, unstained,  blanched, clear, fair frosted, ivory, unpigmented, bleached, natural; snowy, milky, chalky, snow white, snowy white, milk white, milky white, chalk white, or chalky white, is the colour that represents fresh new beginnings. It is a colour associated with the divine. Spiritually, it is correlated with rebirth and renewal, love, light and illumination. I often recommend to hang up and include in your interior design a white painting in support of a re-start in your life!

Using the ancient art of Feng Shui, conscious object placement to accentuate and support a chosen area of your life, you would take a predominantly white painting like Self-Kindness I and II, or these other paintings that are currently in inventory and also mainly white; Sometimes the Journey can be Uncomfortable, Crossing Over i of ii, O and place them in the centre right hand side of your home/office/single selected room. This consciously done would support you in creating joy and inspiration around the areas of creativity and children. Remember children can be your creative creations projects and dreams, not only literal children. :-)

The three other selected original abstract mixed media paintings for the Surrey Art Gallery Sales and Rentals Program were; Acknowledgement (also predominantly white) 36” x 48” x 1.5” mixed media on canvas is satin finish varnished, wired and signed on the back and is ready and available now for your office, home, TV of film set. And lastly, Cheap Thrills i and Cheap Thrills ii - each are 30” x 40” x 1.5” mixed media on canvas with a satin finish, wired and ready for rental. Each of the three mentioned paintings available for purchase and rent are all predominantly white, hence the above colour meaning and Feng Shui recommendations would apply.

Original Abstract Painting Sold 'Emerald Lake'

A word of appreciation for the art collector

Thank you so much to Cardinal Coaching in Paris, France for their second original painting purchase, the one-of-a-kind original painting ‘Emerald Lake’. This unique mixed media, textured, and spiritually inspired abstract painting on canvas was created after spending the summer hiking and camping outdoors along the west coast of British Columbia, specifically around the Vancouver Island region. Emerald Lake is one of our favourite stops!

The painting is part of my Little Gems Series which is inspired by practice, play, and experimentation. I am grateful for positive, life-affirming, and uplifting business owners such as Cardinal Coaching who understand the power and value of adding beautiful artwork paintings to their offices! By the way, if you are looking for an inspirational boost, check out Cardinal Coaching’s website and/or Facebook page.

The collector has also been kind enough to share a photo of the painting hanging in their office, alongside other original abstract artwork they have collected.

Using Feng Shui for a more productive office space

In terms of leveraging this predominantly purple-coloured painting in your new office space, using Feng Shui, the following is some gentle guidance to make this painting work for your company. To start, purple, sometimes known as violet, lavender, lilac, mauve, periwinkle, plum, amethyst, indigo, or magenta, is a colour that resonates with wealth, opportunity, and royalty. 

Using the Bagua from Feng Shui, if you consciously place this painting in the back left-hand corner of your office, it will accentuate the energies around wealth, prosperity, and blessings. See the illustration below. The bottom line is that if you’re looking to increase the cash flow of your business, by hanging a purple painting in your workspace, you are telling The Universe that you are ready to receive financial flow!

The power of the colour purple

Purple is a powerful colour and often associated with royalty and nobility. A colour that “demands respect’ and can often be associate with an ambitious self-assured leader. This colour is synergistic with luxury and wealth. On a spiritual note, violet and purple are known to support in the practice of meditation, contributing to mental balance and stability, supporting the creation of peace of mind, and aiding in providing a link between the spiritual and the physical worlds. Often artists, musicians, writers, poets and psychics are all inspired by violet and its magic and mystery.

Featured above and below this text, Nature is the Way and Fragments of Life # 30 a couple of other paintings with purple as their predominant colours that are in inventory and available for your art collection as originals (date of this post) and as print reproductions on fine art paper or giclee (print on canvas) to your specified custom size requirements. Any of these would make wonderful and vibrant additions to the interior design of your home, office, hotel or restaurant.

A 'Blue' Thank you to the Hampton Burlington

A deep ‘Blue’ Thank you to the interior design team of the Hilton Hotel’s Hampton Burlington Inn & Suites l in Washington, USA for choosing to feature a reproduction print image of Deb Chaney’s ‘ A Blue Thank you’ painting. This simple and journal-writing inspired dark azure blue and black India ink is a one of a kind abstract artwork and features watery drips, soft black vertical marks and pieces of white ‘sky’ in its simple modern contemporary aesthetic .

The main colour in this painting, blue - also known as azure, cobalt blue, sky-blue, cerulean, navy blue and ultramarine - is spiritually representative of  intuition, inspiration and inner peace. Blue can be cooling and calming, both mentally and physically.  Blue is known to represent trust and responsibility. It is a great colour to use in interior design to add a quiet, reserved element to your hospitality interior design, your home, or in your personal room that does not draw attention. The frequency of the colour blue denotes inner security and confidence.

Two other original paintings with a similar colour and simple modern contemporary abstract design aesthetic are shown here ‘Tim Sullivan’ and also; ‘So Simple’, and The Writing Is In The Air - Blue. As well, in the Fragments of life Series are several original and very beautiful medium size (23” x 30”) available on the date of this post for a modern and contemporary design look.

Guidance for where to put your blue painting using Feng Shui Placement. Artwork with predominantly blue colouring that is consciously hung on a wall to the left hand side of your home or the left side of a particular room will accentuate the “wisdom” area of your life; that is your inner knowing. This life area include your inner knowledge and parlays into areas of self-improvement. Making a decision to place a blue artwork in this specified region also supports your being with stillness and introspection.

I’d like to thank Helen Ramsay for purchasing the original painting and in doing so mention that she is accomplished and recognized water colour artist based in Port Coquitlam, BC, Canada. I’d like to also send my love and gratitude to the interior designers working with the Ramada Hotel by Wyndham in Fort Mc Murray, Alberta, Canada who chose to create a number of reproductions of ‘The Universe in the Palm of My Hand’ to use in their hospitality decor. I am honoured to have my artwork featured. And finally, my appreciation to HFA Fine Art Printing Services who rendered this art image into fine art reproductions for the hotel. Thank you.

This unique and spiritually inspired painting is predominantly turquoise in colour which stands for communication and confidence in authentic self-expression. This colours energetically helps to strengthen the connection between your heart and your voice. In colour psychology, turquoise to balance out and supports healing of the emotions, helping one to create greater emotional balance and stability.

There were several other paintings created in the time of this series, two originals of which are available on the date of this post. Below they are shown above and below this text block; The Darkness Inside Makes You Feel So Small and The Darkness Makes The Light Even More Beautiful. These paintings are both 11” x 15” mixed media - acrylics, sand, gold leaf, on 300 pound Arches Watercolour paper and created in a contemporary, modern, and abstract expressionist style. These paintings are part of Deb Chaney’s Little Gems Series - works she does to play, practice and investigate new creative ideas.

Each of these abstract paintings have gold leaf imbued in their layers. Gold is representative of wealth, success and status. It is also considered a powerful healing colour. Gold is synergistic with being optimistic and positive, bringing richness and warmth to everything with which it is associated - it illuminates and enhances other things around it. In the meaning of colors, gold is generous and giving, compassionate and loving, the benefactor or patron, sharing its wisdom, knowledge and wealth with others.

Interview & Feature with Canadian Abstract Artists

Thank you kindly to Canadian Abstract Artists for the awesome interview (great questions!) and feature. I am deeply appreciative of being able to share my learning. on this journey as a professional artist with yourselves and your audience. Thank you.!

How would you describe your artistic style?

Spiritually Inspired Contemporary Modern Textured Layered Abstract Mixed Media Paintings

What’s the main inspiration for your art?

My inner spiritual journey.

What is the biggest goal you try to achieve with your art?

To feel good.

What’s your favourite thing about being an abstract artist?

With the creation of every painting it has its own challenges – figuring out the balance, the integration of the layers, getting to its state of completion. This process inspires me, teaches me, and has kept my attention for the past 20+ years!

Why abstract art and not other mediums? Have you always created abstract art or did you start out creating other styles?

I’ve always been an abstract mixed media artist since I started painting. It continues to excite me, challenge me, and the process enthrals me … I just don’t want to do anything else at the moment!

If you could describe your art in three words, what would they be?

layered – textured – spiritual

What’s one thing people might not know about you and/or your art journey so far?

I still often go through an experience of a wavering in confidence in myself where I struggle, doubt and fear arise during the process of a painting when its mid-way through. To move through and complete, I use many of my personal growth tools such as my fav anchoring song, pre-recorded self-kindness and inner-child affirmations, and tips from ‘the war of art’ (steven pressfield) – mainly just showing up even if I am scared or “don’t feel like it”.

Did you always know you’d be an artist or how has your art journey progressed?

No, I didn’t always know I’d be an artist… Growing up, because of what I was told, I believed that it was impossible to be a professional artist. I put all my creative thoughts and endeavours aside and got a B.Sc. in Earth and Ocean Sciences… Near the end of my degree I read a SARK book ‘Wild Succulent Women’ and knew that if she could do it – be an artist – so could I. I wrote to her and received a hand-written letter in response. I feel it was an omen of support. My journey had begun. That was about 25 years ago…

In your opinion, what’s the most important personal characteristic needed to embark on a career as an artist?

Belief in yourself and the possibility that you can succeed at what you dream to do.

What advice would you give up and coming abstract artists?

To start, you must believe in yourself and the possibility of your own success – in whatever terms you define it. (write it down, clearly). Then, listen ONLY to the kind, positive, and affirmative voices within your head and to those around you ONLY who support you and your dreams.

Do you have any favourite podcasts or books that you love and that have contributed to your journey as an artist?

I love Tim Ferries, Oprah, Brenee Brown, Abraham Hicks, Eckart Tolle, Joe Dispenza, Tony Robbins, Danielle Laporte, Martha Beck, Christine Northrup.

What’s your most fulfilling and enjoyable experience as an artist so far?

This moment now, writing the answers to this wonderful interview… Knowing there are paintings in process in the studio that I get to work on. Looking out my kitchen window and seeing the forest. Hearing the rain fall on the roof and tree leaves. Feeling inspired, supported and connected. I am deeply grateful to be an artist for my work.

Where do you see yourself and your art in 5 years?

I see myself in my newly build high-ceiling studio with great lighting, water, and heat, creating large scale (48″ x 72″ x 1.5″) mixed media abstract Drishti Paintings (TM) which embody the frequency and vibration of well-being. I see these painting contributing wellness world wide, in particular mental well-being, and doing so in both exhibited spaces such as museums, galleries and biennials. I see these paintings selling to appreciative spiritually-minded and conscious art collectors all over the world.

What do you love most about abstract art?

That you feel good looking at it, that you can always find something new, that in focussing upon it you lose yourself and forget anything that may be troubling you and how abstract art brings you into a journey that you can narrate and make-up as you wish.

Do you have any favourite quotes?

“Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.” – Andy Warhol

Canadian Artist, Deb Chaney in front of completed ‘West Coast Abstracts’ public art installation at  Crest Adera Developments 108 East 8th St E, North Vancouver, British Columbia.

'Fragments of Life # 6' Abstract Painting Featured in Ramada by Wyndham

Thank you so much for the interior designer and hotel management who chose to decorate this hospitality location of Ramada by Wyndham in  Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada with reproductions of my painting ‘Fragments of Life #6’.

The original 23” x 30” one-of-a-kind mixed media contemporary abstract painting was created on Arches 300 pound water colour coldpress paper. Material used were acrylics, pencils and spray paint. The original painting was sold, however reproductions of this modern artwork painting are available for your home/office/interior design project click here:.

This painting is orange in colour and also with black and white. The predominant orange colour resonates with the energies of happiness, resourcefulness and confidence. Orange can bring joy to our day and strengthen our zest for life. It is considered the best emotional stimulate and helps to remove inhibitions.

More paintings in this series can be seen here on this website under the Medium Size Artwork ‘Fragments of Life Series’.

The Fragments of Life Series of abstract paintings began in 2013 and continues to evolve today. Each of these painting is an echo of my own personal evolution and life journey. I  begin with a blank white sheet of roughly textured 23” x 30”  300 pound water colour paper, a palette knife, some heavy body acrylic paint mixed with gel medium and the compelling need to create. In the beginning I often don’t know what the painting is about. As the process evolves, I learn about the painting and myself. Each painting can be a culmination of up to 20-30 layers added and taken away, taking anywhere from a week to several months per painting to reach completion. During this time I am in a relationship with this piece and learn its meaning and significance, understanding what the painting has to teach me and show me.  Often there is contradiction and tension -  fuel for the creative fire.  The blending and glazing of colours, the scratching and removing of paint to reveal under colours, the embedding of collage ephemera, the use of pencil and conte markings and scribblings all expressions of feelings of the beauty and the pain, the freedom and the frustration, the evolution and feelings of being stuck all encompassed in this journey of life. These are the fragments of my life.
