Where Spirituality meets Physicality, is a series of abstract landscape paintings by Deb Chaney that were created while exploring into the question; where does spirituality meet physicality? In each painting, the earth/ground represents the physical nature of existence where the artist uses heavy body acrylics and mediums such a modeling paste with raw earth materials such as sand, salt and paper collage to create thick textured earthy matter: "Physicality". The sky/upper portion of each painting represents the spiritual nature of existence where the artist taps into the unseen realm of spirit, faith, surrender, trust, and inner listening allowing these to guide her gestural manipulation of watered down liquid acrylics and polymer mediums to express: "Spirituality". The act and and process of creating these painting allows the artist to gain insight into this question of where and perhaps how spirituality and physicality meet. Each painting reveals its answer to the artist through its final name.

Big shout out and THANK YOU to my gallery in Los Angeles - 
Dear Artist Friend,
Over the last six months I have successful run a Mastermind Group based on the concept presented in Napoleon Hill’s classic 'Think and Grow Rich'. That is a small group of people who are synergistically connected to support each other to achieve their goals and succeed beyond what they could do on their own. We are seeing this now with our group as we continue to move forward with creating our dreams. Its fun, powerful and exciting!
Happy New Year 2016!
I’m hunkering down for Christmas now and playing with making a few little paintings. I snapped a few shots during the process of making these paintings which I'm calling 'The Little Red & Green Christmas Paintings'. These are each the size of a big postcard, each of them painted on a hand torn piece of 300 pound water colour paper (giving them a deckled edge) with heavy body acrylic paints using a palette knife. I stared the series by choosing 3 parameters 1) colours - I decided green & red with a few other colours to punch it up 2) composition - I decided these would be a landscape composition 3) content - these pieces are about freedom, space, playfulness and experimentation. Enjoy the in process pictures! www.debchaney.com

I received a beautiful email on FaceBook from a student who took one of my mixed media abstract painting workshop s several years ago. She told me that when she goes for a walk she does The SMIGLs Ritual with herself out loud, the one we did in class during that workshop, and how after all this time, it has stayed with her! We did this ritual again at the end of the workshop last weekend at the Beaumont Studios and I thought I’d share it with you in the case you haven’t heard of it yet. xo Deb
I received an email several months back from an interior designer here in Vancouver wondering where she could see my original work on display. Well, thank you! I love these kinds of emails as they make me feel so appreciated! I let her know that I have a number of displays of my original artworks up here in Vancouver, and that quite possibly she could make a day of it ; 'Deb Chaney Original Artwork Tour of Vancouver' !!!. You can too.
Here's the current list of Deb’s original artwork on display in Vancouver, BC :
