Acrylic on canvas.
22x28"
“FREE YOUR MIND”—Inspired by the colour light blue & it’s use for communication, I used my blue lace agate crystals in asking for help with depicting what freeing my mind and connection to higher self represents for me; removing the pressures placed on me by societal expectations and figuring out what mental/emotional health and happiness mean for me on an individual level.
This piece gave me the opportunity to explore my relationship with my throat chakra, how I chose to speak and live in my truth. Is this what makes me happy, or what I THINK makes me happy but is truly being done for others. Speaking your truth doesn’t mean arguments, it can be as simple as silent confidence.. beating to your own drum
Reiki infused and made with the intention to bring a sense of calmness, clear throat blockages, encourage healthy communication, and verbal expression of thoughts and feels creating a sense wholeness in any room she hangs!

CurlyShirley is a self taught visual artist
who began playing and expressing herself using different mediums from a very young age. She uses her emotions/experiences to transmute creativity through her hands as a way to express herself on the canvas and bring healing to others.
Through her experience of grief & the overflow of love that she has discovered in that, she has fostered a better relationship with herself and her emotions all while creating a safe space through art/creativity.
Her ultimate goal is to work to create that environment with other people so they too can ultimately begin creating a space for themselves to be and feel who they are, so they can pay it forward and share their greatness with others.
She truly believes that love is what makes the world go 'round.
The focus of her work is energy healing whether that is Reiki Infused pieces, Intentional Paint Workshops or personalized gifts.
She is best known for her paint sessions where she collaborates with attendees to learn more about the power of intention, connecting & exploring our inner selves through creativity. She has collaborated with many non-profit agencies within the city of Toronto including The Community Healing Project, Frontlines, Stella's Place, TDSB and many more.
