About Me

My photo
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:)

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!
