Îdonea - São Miguel, Portugal - Commission 2023
3 feet x 12 feet
Created and drawn from the clients gardens on sacred land
What Sets My Process Apart From Most...
Before beginning any commission, we will work together to gather information that inspires your piece.
As a certified energy and healing practitioner, part of my process is getting to know (and see) you on a deeper level so that I can better understand your story and the energy you'll like to call into your space.
Along the way I have realized that there is one thing each of us have in common, despite our beliefs and experiences - a deep, visceral connection to the land.
Nature is the universal theme that connects and intertwines us all; it is what roots our past to the present moment and allows us to live beyond our pain.
When I say that I am an artist inspired by the "land and story" it is because I've found Mother Nature to be what we all have in common.
It is where we came from and where we will return to.

Artwork created for past collectors:
... I shared that I would like to have a painting that captures the magic of my large fruit, vegetable and flower garden, Chanelle immediately took charge and proceeded to photo just about every plant that I had growing.
We quickly worked out a plan that would entail the creation of 3 separate pieces to cover a 3 metre span. She agreed to return home to Canada and create her magic, and would return within the month with the work to assist in mounting the 3 pieces together. This involved working with a local framer on the island, who Chanelle had contacted and coordinated the framing work.
The end result is absolutely stunning! She has captured the living tranquility of of my beautiful garden and brought it to my restaurant dining area….. Wow!!!!

Chanelle's art is feminine without being too precious – and I really love that. There’s a softness and intentionality about it that I really appreciate. It feels like it’s speaking for me or matches me or my energy in a meaningful way.
Every time I walk past it, I have to stop and take it in. Even my 15 year old son finds himself doing that. There is always some new detail we notice. It’s an incredibly calming piece and I can’t wait to hang it in the perfect spot of our home.

I love that Chanelle's work shares a story. For me it is a reminder of what I have overcome, the importance expelling energy and allowing yourself to move on from your story.

About the Artist
When Chanelle discovered the power of her own mind, energy and emotions, her artwork began changing the lives of highly sensitive people throughout the world.
Through her paintings, retreats and teachings, Chanelle has made it her mission to connect others with their hearts and show them what can be possible - something she is intimately familiar with after closing off her light at age 12.
Her subject matter focuses on themes that connect nature, everyday observation and healing through her use of blind contour methods. She creates her line drawings without looking at the paper as a daily practice of meditation and mindfulness. Her intimate and honest work helps people live with intention and feel deeply seen.
She is a graduate of Concordia University (Montreal, QC) with a BFA in Studio Arts and a minor in Environmental Geology (2021), author/illustrator of My Nova Scotia Cookbook (2018) and host of the yearly, Finding Awe Within the Ordinary Retreat.
Her work has been shown at Museo Bellini (Florence, Italy) and most recently, she was accepted as the Lunenburg School of the Arts, 2023 Artist-in-Residence.
Jefferson’s pieces are held within the private collections of Pete Luckett and the MacKay-Lyons family.
