Celebrating a new partnership bringing healing art into corporate offices and inspiring spaces.

I’m thrilled to share some exciting news—I’ve officially joined the artist roster at TurningArt, a Boston-based firm known for transforming spaces through thoughtfully curated artwork.

Why TurningArt is the perfect fit

Partnering with TurningArt is more than just a new opportunity, it’s a beautiful alignment of values. Their commitment to supporting working artists, enhancing wellness through visual environments, and curating art experiences that elevate everyday life deeply resonates with my own artistic mission.

A heartfelt thank you to Sophie from the TurningArt team, who truly offered ‘white glove’ support throughout my onboarding. From start to finish, Sophie went above and beyond to help me navigate the process, answer every question with care, and ensure my portfolio was represented with professionalism and heart. I’m genuinely grateful.

TurningArt transforming spaces across North America

What excites me even more is the incredible work TurningArt is already doing in collaboration with artists across North America. Here are just a few highlights:

🎨 Monumental Artwork for a Private Equity Office
 Working with Vocon and a U.S.-based equity firm, TurningArt commissioned large-scale, custom pieces that reflect brand identity while elevating the physical workspace. It’s a powerful example of how contemporary art can transform corporate culture.

🩺 Transforming Women’s Healthcare with Herself Health
 Through carefully curated artwork, TurningArt helped Herself Health reshape the atmosphere of their clinics to feel warm, calming, and empowering. This approach aligns so beautifully with my own belief that art supports emotional wellness.

🌈 Vibrant Murals for Communal Living at Ardence & Bloom
 For this East Hollywood development, TurningArt brought large-scale murals to life—transforming a residential space into a dynamic environment where art inspires daily living.

As a mixed media abstract artist who believes deeply in the connection between art and well-being, it’s an honor to join a community so dedicated to this kind of meaningful creative work. I look forward to what’s ahead and to sharing more as this partnership unfold

Uplifting spaces with art for well-being through curated collaboration

I’m thrilled to share some exciting news — I’ve officially joined the artist roster at Indiewalls, a visionary company that curates and commissions contemporary art for commercial spaces across the globe.

From boutique hotels to corporate headquarters and wellness environments, Indiewalls is known for transforming spaces through meaningful, site-specific art installations. Their mission resonates deeply with my own: to bring healing, inspiration, and beauty into people’s everyday environments.

💫 Why this partnership is exciting

My mixed media abstract paintings are rooted in the intention of well-being. Through layered color, texture, and light, I aim to create pieces that ground, uplift, and spark a sense of connection. The team at Indiewalls sees art the same way — not just as decoration, but as an emotional, experiential element that can enhance the quality of life.

Together, I see so much potential to infuse high-frequency artwork into spaces where people live, work, heal, and gather.

🌟 A few projects by Indiewalls that deeply inspire me

  • The Arc: A modern senior living community infused with vibrant, emotionally resonant art that promotes dignity, joy, and calm.

  • Leena Plantation: A thoughtful blend of regional storytelling and contemporary design — reminding us how art can both ground and elevate space.

  • Allspring HQ: A dynamic collection in a corporate setting that blends brand vision with artistic expression — showing how art can inspire innovation and productivity.

These projects exemplify what’s possible when art and intention come together. I’m honored to now be part of their curated platform and to have the opportunity to contribute to future installations that prioritize human experience and creative presence.

Stop Chasing Art Collectors. Let Them Come to You.

 Why resonance—not chasing—is the key to finding your collectors

Have you ever wondered how to get your art in front of the people who truly see it? Those collectors, curators, designers, or gallerists who say, “Yes, that’s the one!”

The path might seem mysterious. But in my experience, the most aligned opportunities don’t come from chasing. They come from resonance.

When my daughter was younger, we had a little game. While watching movies, I’d pause the screen and point to the background:

“See that artwork? Let’s pretend it’s mine.”

Years later, I received an unexpected call from a Netflix art director. A production designer had discovered my work online and wanted to use it for a production set.

I didn’t pitch or pursue that opportunity. I hadn’t chased it down. I simply kept making the work, sharing it with genuine passion and belief, and holding a quiet vision.

That energy—clear, authentic, consistent—does the work of calling the right people in.

Collectors and collaborators are already out there.

What they’re looking for isn’t more art. They’re looking for a piece that feels like home. When your work carries your unique energy and message, it becomes easier for them to find you.

What if your job is not to push harder, but to speak more clearly through your art—and let the right eyes recognize what’s already theirs?

Collaborative painting for donation to The Woods

The Colour Connection (20" x 20" x 1.5) by Alini Garcia, Deb Chaney, Tamara Grand, Roman Rozumnyj

This past Sunday marked the end of The Colour Connection group art show that I was part of. It ran for about a month at the Silk Purse Arts Centre in West Vancouver.

The central feature of the art exhibit was a collaborative artwork painted by myself and 3 other West Coast Canadian artists. You can also read an earlier post for more about the exhibit, but I’ll cover much of it below.

About The Colour Connection art show

The exhibit was held in West Vancouver’s Millennium Park and ran from February 7 to March 3, 2024. There was a Meet the Artists event in early February as well as an Artist Talk Livestream, which is now available on the gallery’s YouTube channel.

In addition to showing individual pieces by each artist, the show featured one collaborative painting done by all of us. And that is the painting I’d like to focus on here.

Donating the painting to The Woods

The final painting was donated to The Woods Arts & Wellness, a non-profit charity that supports mental health through art and nature. You can learn more about the organization (and make a donation) on The Woods website.

The process of collaborative painting

I had the painting–or rather the blank canvas–to begin the collaboration, then I mailed it to Tamara in Port Moody. After her additions she mailed it to Roman in West Vancouver, who made his contributions then sent it to Alini in North Vancouver.

The final painting, The Colour Connection (20" x 20" x 1.5”) is mixed media on canvas and created by Alini Garcia, Deb Chaney, Tamara Grand, and Roman Rozumnyj.

You can see the stages of the painting’s progress in the gallery below.
