About Me

- The Artist
- My Name is Tricia...Who am I as an artist...hard to say...my creativity comes from many sources...life, love, friends, meditations, conversations, the way the light touches something, dreams. All I know is that when I am writing, taking photographs or painting...I am totally and completely in that moment and all I want to do in that moment is create. Things happen in stages for me whether it's a quick or a slow process depends on me...truthfully...for me this blog: I Paint in Stages (I PIS) is a reflection of my life at any given moment in time along my path...If you are curious about a painting and want to know more...just ask:)

I believe this one is finally complete...I'll post a better picture at some point but this painting truly captures a vision/meditation I had and I absolutely love it...it'll be great to add it to the show.

Stage 2: New Painting
Ancestral Path is what came to me as I started to work on this one tonight...Doorway...insight into the true essence of being...I see so much in this one and there is a lot of guidance coming from a higher place on this one...makes sense seeing that I was told to paint this one for a very specific purpose...

Stage 1: New Painting
I was given 2 images I have been asked to paint during a meditation and this is the beginning on the first painting. I know what it is supposed to represent but I'm not ready to share that just yet but it has interesting energy to it and I am going to enjoy the challenge of this one.

Stage 3: Ancient Awakening
I'm dedicating this one to someone dear to me that has helped me so much over the last many years find all those missing pieces and his latest help led to the deepest re-awakening of my lives:)Thank you for your guidance and humor and friendship, Tomy!
Alchemy, ancient past, present moment, knowledge, awakening, gifts, lessons...it's all in there...who knew those 2 paintings could be reconstructed in such a profound way...definitely marks a new beginning in so many ways.
Love and Light

New Art Exhibit at Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA)
I have a new art exhibit af SWIHA through September 30th. Be sure to check it out. I started a new art concept called Reiki Affirmation Art.
I recently took some of my artwork in a new direction. I decided to combine former paintings with Reiki ascension path work that includes symbolism that has been communicated to me since my Reiki Master Attunement in 2006.
I have used the symbolism given to me through meditation and dreams to aid me in my own healing path. At times, I have been called to share specific symbols with friends and acquaintances for their own healing paths even providing symbolism for tattoo art. Most recently, I decided it was time to start sharing these lessons through my art work.
This is my first series of Reiki Affirmation Art. The pieces of canvas are from a painting called Returning Home that I deconstructed for the purpose of creating these affirmation pieces.
Returning Home was a painting of self-discovery, release, letting go, and returning home to a true center – the authentic self. My hope is that these pieces will resonate with you as much as they have resonated with me and offer something you may be needing or seeking.
Many Blessings!

Stage 3: Continuing with the new painting

Stage 1: New Painting

Stage 3: My Dancing Painting Finished

Interesting process...the art of dancing...give and take...freedom...movement...personal space...leading and following...rhythm...expression....without words it speaks volumes...can dance around something or take it on directly...mind, body, spirit...connection through the movement that increasing when one allows their natural rhythm to emerge and stay...
I wish you could see this painting in person...the colors are distorted with the light blue and there is actually more pink and green in it then the photo shows...but you get the idea...I love this painting...first painting started and completed in the new place...I'd say the casita has good artisitic vibes:)
Stage 2: My Dancing Painting Continues...
Contemplating the dance...there are so many dances with ourselves and when we meet another...there is the physical dance...the rhythm and pulse...then the dance of the heart...that's the next stage...the inner realm of the dance...what it means to dance that dance...it's the place where many get lost...say they can't do it...or just get off the dance floor...I'm that person that wants to see where the dance goes...the physical beat into the feeling realm...moving in rhythm with that physical...the true dance...back and forth...exchange...deeper...enhancing the physical...I like the dance floor...
Stay tuned for stage 3...

Stage 5: Painting Completed
I thought I would have completed this one before moving out of the old place but instead I finished outside on the porch of my casita. The pictures don't capture the movement of this one...another 3' by 4' one...I hope someone starts buying these soon...I am running out of storage space:-) looking forward to finally starting a new painting now that this one has completed itself.

Stage 4: New Painting Observing Nature Continues

2/12/2011 - Stage 4: The word that keeps repeating today as I paint is creation...so I'm going with it. The painting is definitely morphing and I love the direction it's going in...plus it helps me avoid packing for my move to my new place...lol! This will be the last canvas I work on in the old apartment...the place has served me well these last 3 years...now how do I avoid paying for the paint on the carpet?? :)

New Painting - Stage 1-3: Observing Nature

02/09/11 - Stage 3: Painting is taking on a life of its own. Using everything but a brush to paint this one...not quite sure what I'm trying to say with this one yet but I am enjoying the unusual process...feels like the last painting I will complete in this old apartment...

01/21/11 - Stage 2: Felt like painting this evening so I added to the bottom part of the painting. I have a full image of this painting and I know what I am trying to get across but don't quite feel like I have words for it yet but it's a new feeling arising from a transformative moment.

01/17/11 - Stage 1: Working on a new painting that was inspired by several sunsets I saw over the long weekend and some of the mountain images that crossed by path while driving this week. I have a strong image in my mind on this one but we'll see what develops...just feels good to paint today:)
