'Beautiful Strength' i and ii JUST SOLD

BeautifulStrengthIofII copy.jpg

Beautiful Strength, diptych I of II

Last year, in a process of interviewing 15 of my most beloved collectors, I discovered the resounding thread they all shared when speaking about having an original piece of my artwork in their home - that is, they felt both grounded and inspired when they communed with their Deb Chaney original art piece. 

I feel like these two recently sold pieces, Beautiful Strength I and II. really embody that feeling of both inspired and grounded. The sand and metallic elements really ground the painting, and yet the subtle greens and light areas show the spirit and creative inspiration that went into them.

Rending of Public Artwork Proposal for North Vancouver

SmallFINALRenderImage.png

This week, tomorrow, on Wednesday September 18th, will be the culmination of a month's work. I'll be presenting a public art proposal, my first ever, to a Vancouver developer.


The Proposal is to have four of my artworks rendered into hand-painted Portuguese tiles and adhered to the side of the residential development in North Vancouver. Each panel would be approximately 16 feet by 10 feet.
The image you're seeing from my computer, is the rendering of what the final installation would look like. It would be one of a kind.....as from all the research have done on public art there's nothing else like this in the Vancouver area!

Whether I'm selected or not, for me this journey is a win. I've stretched and grown myself beyond what I ever thought was possible as an artist. I am honoured to have the opportunity to have explored this idea and to present it this week to a panel of architects, public art specialists, engineers & developers. I am beyond grateful for every single person that's helped & supportrd me to figure out the budget, the timeline, how to ship tiles from Portugal, what would be required to install the tiles, and all the other details that have to come together for this project. Thank you for all my close friends, my business associates, and those of you on social media that answered my questions along the journey.

About the art exhibit

This exhibit opens the opportunity for artists to share both visually and in words to share their stories and journeys that are a part of their healing journey to their own empowerment with you the view and with  our community at large.

Trauma does not need to break us - it can fuel us as activists and as artists. 

Through the process of creation, we reclaim our voices, working through struggle  and growing towards happiness, individuality, connection and love. 

In viewing these artworks on display, we invite you to consider these questions:

What does it mean to heal?

How can yo honour your own journey?

What would you say to your part and future selves  - how can you be your own best friend?

Once a fire is started, it can become unstoppable. What will you take away from today’s exhibition? An image, an idea, a story? Whatever it is, we hope it sparks empowerment. 

A fire is like an artist, activities, a survivor. Breathing. Growing. Moving. Alive. 

About the ‘Healing Fires’ Exhibit

About the ‘Healing Fires’ Exhibit

I will be giving a short talk at the Friday evening closing celebrations event, inspired by the painting I have on display at this exhibit ‘Listen to the Child’ (shown here below) and the role of the inner child on our healing journey.

‘Listen to the Child’ 60” x 40” x 1.5”. Mixed Media on Canvas Painting (c) All Rights Reserved Deb Chaney


This original mixed media painting on canvas entitled ‘Listen to the Child’ is one of the most important lessons I learned on my healing journey.  When healing ourselves from trauma we gradually re-connect into our bodies, as compared to the past when it may have been painful to be present.  When we get present, we are more highly attuned to our feelings, and that in particular of our inner child. She has deep wisdom and is here to let us know our needs via feelings - what excites us: do that, go there! What gives us a bad feeling - step back, move away!  Listen, be guided, trust this inner voice leads to our own empowered healing journey.
