It’s a collective experience expressed by many women- we all go through highs + lows with how we treat + view our bodies. It may be our jobs, family stress, navigating relationships – it all takes a toll + ultimately reflects back at us more often than we would like to admit.
Art has the power to heal and transform and Figurative Body Art is no exception.
Let’s talk about creating something unforgettable, because this moment -right now – is all about you. Every curve, every wrinkle and scar is a testament to the beauty of being uniquely and unapologetically you.

Out of the sheer and utter desire for connection through the ritual of practicing being seen – in this case through art, our Body of Art sessions were created.
Documenting your body as art is a ritual that has shows up as connection in the form of honoring and celebrating yourself self – and allowing yourself to be seen.
It’s the reason why I do what I do. It’s the reason why I became an artist. Figurative art prints are a powerful celebration of the natural beauty and strength of women.
Showing up for yourself is an ongoing practice that requires consistency and an abundance of compassion. Using our bodies as physical instruments to collaboratively create art is one way to see yourself – through the loving lens of compassion.

More than just a work of art, Figurative Art Prints are a testament to the power of self-love, compassion and body respect. It encourages us to embrace our bodies and our identities with confidence and pride, and to reject the limiting societal standards that seek to define us.
This collaborative creative process- A Body of Art – is not the magic cure, but serves as a first step, an opening for celebration + empowerment + to be fully and naturally themselves. Our intention is to create a safe space for our clients to own their worth + honour themselves.
There is no best reason to sign up for an art session- you’ll leave with a tangible reminder to hang on your wall + celebrate that you dedicated valuable time to love yourself that one day in Nanaimo at an art studio + may it forever remind you how incredible you are.
