ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Description: I watched Saqarra Tomb on Netflix, and ever since I was a little girl, I've been obsessed with Egypt. I would watch all the discovery channel shows about King Tut, Cleaopatra and anything and everything to do with the pyramids. Watching Saqarra Tomb, brought me back in time, for when I was hungry for more and more information. I thought I was going to become an archeologist - for real guys, I was that obsessed. This piece is inspired by listening to our inner wisdom and allowing our intuition to guide our paths. We always know the answer, even when we feel confused, we've just temporarily disengaged our bodies and we're using our minds to make a decision. This internal wisdom is long forgotten information passed down from our ancestors. Whenever I feel a big shift in my life, I always turn to spirit to guide me. I host a ceremony for myself, and I create the space to allow myself to let go of that which isn't serving me, or bringing me down, and ask to see the message and the lesson in the story. It's not about changing it and taking action, as it is about simply witnessing where we disconnect, move into ego, or judgement and criticism. The more we can bear witness to our true selves, the easier life becomes. That inner wisdom is sacred and sometimes needs to be practiced in order to hear and follow it. Medium: Acrylicon Raw Canvas

I received my certificate in Fine Arts at Langara College, in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I initially focused on the female form in line drawings. I remember attending my first drawing class and being in AWE of the bravery of the nude and curvaceous women posing so confidently in front of a class of students. I hung out in the back, afraid to make eye contact too long because I was so ashamed of myself and my own body. I can still remember to this day the moment I decided I was sick and tired of being sick and tired and I was ready to turn my life around. My artwork continues to evolve, and now my artwork focuses on the limitless boundaries and what it means to be human experiencing a spiritual way of living. My artwork poses perspective on what it means to grapple with our ego, and truly live our lives leading with our hearts. My process is very simple. Before I create a piece, I place myself in a meditative state and I allow myself to receive visions from the divine universe. I see in bold colours, and lines, and I paint it. Sometimes it takes me weeks, and most of the time, I can finish a painting within an hour or so, when I am totally connected. It is not me, Tori, the personality painting, I’m simply a source of divine inspiration to channel through me.
