This beautifully simple, spacious & contemporary piece was created around the energy of being present to your now moments.

I had the pleasure of working with Tannis to create my one of a kind piece of art. She patiently and thoughtfully considered me, my story and my passions. What she created exceeded my expectations. She captured my love for my son in such a beautiful way, words cannot explain it. The experience from start to finish was wonderful. The beauty of the piece speaks for itself, add the handmade frame with embossed logo…every detail is special. I will treasure this piece forever and each time I look at it, I smile-inside and out. Thank you, Tannis

Island of Pearls

Resin, vintage pearls & ashes

Artist crafted Birch hardwood frame

There are times in your life you are touched by the story and love of others. Creating this piece moved my soul. It is a story of love from long ago, now being reunited, reinterpreted and remembered for all its beauty. She is his Island of pearls.

If there was one thing I could take from my home in a moments notice, that was not a family member or a pet, I would have to say it would be this incredible piece of art that Tannis put her heart, soul, and energy into creating. To know that my Mother and Father are together again in this piece, and that every time I look at it, it brings me such peace and calms my anxious heart. I couldn’t have imagined this to turn out the way it did. Tannis spent one on one time with me, listening to my story about my loss, offering suggestions about what she could do and listened carefully to my wants and hopes for this piece. She took all that away with her and created something I will treasure for the rest of my life and can pass down to my son and his family for generations to come. It’s so beautiful, and so very special, so much better than ashes in a box! Thank you so much Tannis, you are truly an amazing person and a very talented artist!

Artist crafted Birch hardwood frame

Deep within One’s self lives an original truth found in the fabric of creation. It’s vibrant intelligence invited it’s kiss through the language if sensing. Sensing beyond the physical worlds where matter is made of eternal living light. Travel inward through the deep water openings if the Senotes and discover your truth.

This was the first piece of intuitive art I had ever purchased. I wanted a piece that reflected the dynamics of my family so Tannis and I discussed the colors I felt encapsulated my family members and the feelings I wanted the piece to capture … love, strength, resilience, and compassion.

We opened it on Christmas morning and we fell in love with what we saw. Our piece invited us to lose ourselves in the movement and depths of the gorgeous colors.

It hangs above our kitchen table and we enjoy it every day. I love when people visit our house and are drawn to this piece. They study it and everyone sees something different inside the colors and shapes.
