Crystal Illuminations ~ Crystal Infused Sacred Paintings as a Source of Light in Your Life
I’ve been working away on a new series of paintings that I have been guided to create. As many of you know, I have a deep connection with our crystalline beings and over time my work has evolved with them. I have recently transitioned out of offering crystal jewelry, as I was getting loud messages that the crystals wanted to come through in a new form that mirrored the evolution of things, partnered with the “artist me” in that abundant creative energy, helped show case them as the natural works of art that they are (infused with healing art encodings), and could be translated into multi-faceted, affordable extensions for anyone to experience.
From this, Crystal Illuminations (crystal infused sacred paintings as a source of light in your life) were channeled as a way for each crystal to emanate and be honored, as they honor and work with us. They are “living” pieces of healing art that draw from and integrate the Earth and the Ethereal, as felt through my heart. Crystal Illuminations are meditational portals that assist you with invoking the key essence of each crystal’s energy into your daily sacred space in order to access new doorways of experience. Each painting is a channeled imprint of the specific crystal’s vibrational resonance as they come through me in the process of working with them and are charged with Reiki energy. Some embody one family of crystal, while others combine more than one, and can range from one to several crystals depending on the energy of each creation.
When you gaze upon or simply have the painting in your personal space, it can assist with energetic activations and help shift the energy in and around you to support desired intentions. Crystal Illuminations are a tool to help draw in a bit of magic as you journey through life.
I’d like to introduce the first 11 Crystal Illuminations that have channeled through so far. These will be debuting at tomorrow night’s RAW Los Angeles Presents MARVEL art showcase, alongside some of my other work. They will be up on my website soon too, but until then, are not officially available for sale as of yet. If there is one that you see and absolutely feel drawn to, you can message me and I will put a “SOLD” sign on it at the show, but I will not be sending any out or officially selling them UNTIL the show.
I had a really fun time photographing these live creations yesterday in my living room where the best lighting is and while doing so some magical things were caught on camera. They were all photographed in the same place and the photos are not manipulated other than cropping. So I am sharing several photos of some of them to include what they actually look like, closeups, as well as the energy and orbs that were captured wanting to come through.
For more information on the properties of each crystal, you can contact me. For now, I would just like to share them so you can feel their essence without the information of what each of their energies represent. Each one has an infusion of either gold or silver metallic, pixie-dusted illumination.
If one of these speaks to you, I can be reached at tania@taniamarie.com. If you’d like to commission a specific Crystal Illumination painting, you can also contact me for a custom quote. Prices include shipping within the U.S. For destinations outside of the U.S. contact me for a quote.

Cosmic Creativity: How Art Evolves Consciousness: Alex Grey
This is a great TEDx video about fellow visionary artist, Alex Grey. Alex shares about why “visionary art matters because the visionary mystical experience is the most direct contact we have with the Divine.”
He goes on to explain that “Art is an echo of the creative force that birthed the galaxies. Creativity is a way that the Cosmos evolves and communicates with itself. The great uplifting of humanity beyond its self destruction is the redemptive mission of art.”
Here is a look at Alex Grey’s visionary art evolution and his projects that are uniting the world through sacred art. I love that he shares about how he took on the name “Grey.” I don’t think I’d heard this before, but love how his name reflects the energy of integration that is the focal point of his work, my own, and many visionary artists out there. I often say that nothing is Black and White and it is in the Grey that the heart of everything is revealed.
Alex Grey is a leader in visionary art who, along with many other visionary artists, is supporting healing integration through creativity. His work symbolically represents what we talk about in working through all of the layers and integrating body, heart, mind and soul to create balance and wholeness. Art can be an integral tool to help access those layers when meditated upon, as you receive the encoded infusion embodied within each sacred art piece.

Sight Comes From the Heart, Not the Eyes – A Beautifully Inspiring Story of Limitlessness
I’ve recently been guided to artist, John Bramblitt, through a fellow blog friend Beth of Segmation: The Art of Pieceful Imaging who has a lovely blog Outside the Lines. She shared a wonderful post titled: Blind Artist’s Vision is Clearer than that of Sighted Individuals about Bramblitt and how his blindness has been a conduit to becoming an amazing artist. Faced with the challenges of becoming blind when he was just 30 years old, a condition caused by epilepsy, art became the road to the light out of the dark depression he found himself in. Yes, he learned to paint AFTER he became blind.
As a fellow artist, I agree that “sight” comes from the heart, not the eyes, and that is the core of how I channel creations, seeing with my senses and feelings, rather than my physical eyes, to the essence of how things appear. I hope you find this CBS News story about his journey into a world of color from the dark, to be as inspiring as I do.
Activating Greater Authenticity – Garden of the Gods and Temple of the Sacred Heart Emerge
Garden of the Gods
The beautiful endangered Ocelot in its Rain Forest Garden of Eden
As you know, I have been on some personal time off for the last couple of weeks – a much needed internal journey evolving from very poignant messages. Usually I would literally have traveled off to a heart-called sacred place across the globe, but the traveling this time was purely an inner journey heart calling.
Today, the day of the New Moon and Annular Eclipse, I feel called to emerge from my newest cocoon and feel the experience of life’s light on my wings for the first time, again.
(Info about today’s Moon and Eclipse from Laura Bruno’s blog post: You can find loads of information about the May 20th New Moon and Annular Eclipse, as people in all walks of life are writing about it and honoring it in various ways. The direct path of the eclipse runs from Mt. Fuji in Japan to Mt. Shasta in the US, with a pass over Pyramid Lake, near Reno, NV- (where I used to live and family still does). People in these and other places are performing activations, meditations and rituals to honor the passing of the Moon in front of the Sun. This type of eclipse does not completely block out the Sun; rather, the darkness that covers the Sun becomes haloed by a “Ring of Fire.”)
Temple of the Sacred Heart
Tender Divinity shared between mother and child, endangered Asian Elephants
It’s been a very personally powerful time of pivotal shifting and fine tuning these last couple of weeks (which will continue), and ever more so the last few days, as clarity has been pouring in, along with all the synchronous messages and reiterations. My heart is finding even greater peace, deeper love and creative joy.
Yes, change is here again in the life of Tania, but not so much the 360 flips I usually do, although on the outside could seem that way to some. It is really not so much about becoming a “new” me or sharing “new” channels of expressions, but rather, it is an activation of the authentic me at greater depths of the peeled onion core. It’s about revealing vulnerable expressions and truths at a deeper level of me. That may seem like something new, but it really is a journey of embracing what has always been, brought forth into the light of day with full consciousness.
It’s always so fun to see how the pieces of the journeys lead to the now moment and how they are all important and integral threads to the woven quilt of life that unfolds.
During “this” time within (which I found to be refreshingly very easy, without any strict or hard process to follow), ONE of the very cool emerging things was a new body of work that I am channeling. Interestingly, I had received the “idea” of this body of work last year, but many a winding road has been taken to get there. It was not time, as I tend to sometimes be ahead of myself and have to wait to catch up and be ready.
The first two creations of this body of work are featured in this post and will be available on my website shortly. They are Garden of the Gods and Temple of the Sacred Heart. If interested in either of these pieces, you may contact me for pricing and information at tania@taniamarie.com.
During my journey within, several cool things were synchronously unfolding, which included one heck of a story of how my painting, As Above, So Below, connected to its keeper and its crazy journey in and out of dimensions and even getting delivered to a Correctional Institute in Florida (staying there over a weekend), being officially declared as status undetermined to either lost or damaged with UPS wanting to reimburse me its value, to it arriving safely, regardless, to its new home in Bimini and a beautiful gift from my friend, John William Bauld of Burlington, Ontario, that arrived at the perfect moment. His new CD of lovely mantra music he gifted me, along with the resonance of his heart-full voice were part of my inspiring support in creating Temple of the Sacred Heart.
There are MANY to come. Right now I’ve seen 33 total (interesting as that was not a plan), but being one that does not like limitations or structure, and knows the importance of allowing things to evolve, it remains to be seen just how many actually will channel through. But fun to see if my “seeing ahead” will actually manifest just as I see 🙂
I’m so in LOVE with my creative flow and what is channeling. It is too much to explain and really there is no need to. The basis is one that involves ONLY everything I LOVE.
More to come on every level and loving gratitude for it all.

Name That Love Offer! ~ Inspirational Art “Can” Be Yours Plus Receive A FREE Gift!
Every now and then, when I least expect it, I receive a nudge that may seem crazy, but I know it’s “oh so right!” This is one of those times. Those that know me, know that when I get hit with inspiration, I just do it!
So, you ask, what is this all about? Well…..
I received the inspirational nudge that, just like the crystals I help to move on to their keepers, the art I create holds much the same energy as a personal tool to empowerment. They are alive – “living art” – as I like to refer to them as. And for any “alive” crystal, piece of art, sculpture, etc., to just sit there in the dark, unable to nurture and connect in the way they were birthed to do, well… is just like wasting a precious, natural resource.
I’m in the process of channeling tons of new paintings (already have many canvases waiting where ever I’m able to store them) and literally have no room to store all these new paintings and canvases that have been, and will be, created until they go to an upcoming event, gallery, or new home. And honestly, I feel it is a shame to do so, even if I had the room, as they serve a purpose that can much better be fulfilled if lovingly connected with a new friend. That’s why it makes me happy when my work receives invite for exhibition, like some are currently, so that others can enjoy them and receive their intended energy.
I’ve also received the inspiration that I will be hosting an event/art show this year and am working at raising and saving resources to go towards putting that beautifully on to share with others.
All of these things have been percolating in the background without any conscious thread link, until I received the nudge and intuitive message it was time to let go and spread some MORE love!
To share the abundance of creative expression, integrative healing, joyous inspiration, conscious awareness, magical beauty and unconditional love is a valuable contribution to the now energies and the now light workers and visionaries creating the way!
The paintings being offered will be a mix of originals on canvas, giclees on canvas, or prints on fine art paper that regularly sold for (the already discounted prices of) $50 – $399 and now I’ll basically be giving them away for what could be less than cost to make, let alone the time to create, depending on the “Love Offers.” Crazy!
Some will be offered in only one format, others in 2 or more and there is only one available of each so if one speaks to you, you will not want to wait. Only one special piece has 3 small prints available.
There are 14 paintings in total that will be part of this “Love Offer” donation. I encourage you to offer a donation amount of your choice that reflects the value you feel you receive – a way to embrace the flow of service integrity of heart. There is no wrong or right amount 🙂
Each of these pieces have been some of my clients’ beloveds that either the original or giclees/prints had been purchased, leaving some remaining. I always keep on hand at least one giclee for purposes of efficient shipping turnaround. 🙂
These pieces make lovely gifts to self and others for that daily inspirational spark. Some are “big time” favorites among children and parents have used them as inspirational decor for babies’ and children’s rooms.
I will be posting them each day with a little about each. I will not take offers until I post them, but to get your feelers ready, I will name the paintings so you can have an idea of what to expect:
Phoenix Sunrise
Majestic
Gaia
Uniquely You, Divinely One
Legacy
Colors of Venice
Embrace Change
Lemurian Dreams
Kaleidoscope
Cosmic Earth Consciousness
Reflections
Everyday Miracles
Discoveries
Nestor
That being said, I will be offering my channeled creations to the first “Love Offer” donation from a patron of the arts, devoted lightworker, nurturer of human evolution, passionate visionary, Earth caretaker, or all-around-LOVE cultivator.
I will also gift each person a FREE “Tree of Life” (as it has now become known as) fine art print – a favorite of many
Here are the guidelines.
My responsibility and part:
- To provide a loving creation from my heart

Through the Stargate – Custom Personal Portal Painting
I just completed a custom commission painting for a very dear Canadian client who is an amazing soul brother and light in this world. He is one of the very few people I know that is always a bright, positive and ever-giving light. Even when going through the most difficult challenges life can throw a person’s way – he still faces it all with courageous and humble joy and love. He has been a supportive gift in my life since as long as I have known him and I am grateful.
He and I have collaborated on several creations in the past and now was a chance to bring one of his ideas into creative manifestation, which I intend to be supportive to his personal journey and current processes. There are no coincidences and the timing of this synchronous creation indeed will be a portal of intention that can take him into a new vibrational experience of life.
He commissioned me to create a portal painting and had a specific cosmic theme he shared with me that I was to bring to life with a “T twist.” And so Through the Stargate that you see pictured here, was born.
This painting in person has some very cool gold metallic touches and really vibrant blues, with touches of lilac, whites and creamy pink amidst black with deep navy blue undertone.
Another cool synchronicity is the timing of the birthing of this painting, as today marks 9 years ago that I brought my dear Nestor (twin soul bunny) home for the first time with me, who is now a multi-dimensional being of the Cosmos. And I have discovered that in every one of my new paintings, my parents have pointed out that a rabbit image shows up, among so many other animal and symbolic images that can be found if you take a moment to “see.”
If you desire your own custom commissioned painting created with your unique energetic fingerprint or bringing to life a vision you have, you can contact me at tania@taniamarie.com with your ideas, requests and to receive a quote.

Celebrating an Evening of Creative Collaborations
Me with my art
This past Saturday, 2/25, we enjoyed a fun filled night of celebrations and artistic inspirations at the Circa 92 Art Show, which was a collaborative effort of style, art, design, food, photography, music and great people. As I’ve mentioned, I believe that co-creating and collaborating like this is the wave of the future and that we will be seeing more meetings of the minds and hearts as things unfold in 2012 and beyond.
My friends surprised me with a little pre-birthday celebration and gorgeous piece-of-art cake, both by sight and taste, by Bianca Blanco of http://www.bellasavour.com/ , which truly topped the night off. And thank you for the gorgeous sunflowers (my fav!) and wildflowers bouquet from Allison and Chris Jacobson. I am so blessed to have such thoughtful and supportive friends.
From left to right: Bianco Blanco, me and Allison Jacobson
I just want to extend my gratitude once again to everyone that came for this evening, both from near and far. Thank you again to Yoshi Ito, salon owner and Mato Nakajima, salon manager for inviting me to be part of their creative vision. Again, thank you to Bianca Blanco for her beautiful and delicious vegan cupcake contribution and to Jenny Ross of 118 Degrees for her raw vegan appetizers and desserts. Thank you to Full Moon for their food that included veggie sushi and to Palms and DJ Red Conspiracy for their musical vibes. Much gratitude goes out to Alanna Airitam of http://www.2ndchakrastudio.com – 2nd Chakra Studio – photography for self promotion of small businesses, blogs, performers, and real people – for capturing the whole night on film. And to Allison Jacobson for her gorgeous pendant designs and for her all-around support from start to finish with everything. Couldn’t have done it without you!
Me sharing about my paintings to patrons of the arts - Sanctus Germain, CEO of Saint Germain Sweets, Co. pictured right
It was a really great evening and beautiful turnout. I was excited to be debuting new pieces of art that are a new genre of creations for me channeling through, to be launching our new crystal pendants (blog to come with these new birthings!) and to present my book, Spiritual Skin in person for the first time.
It was a night, as I put it, to “experience.” Just as I let go and allow when I create, it was my hope that those that joined us for this evening and those of you that will join us for events to come, will always keep that at the heart of your goal – to let go, allow and simply “experience” through your heart.
Me giving my brief talk
For those that weren’t able to join us, this was the message of my talk on the evening of 2/25, as well as wanting everyone to remember that:
“When we celebrate the works and accomplishments of others, we celebrate that creative potential within us all.
Life, to me, is about authentically expressing your heart’s passions and understanding the collective synergy that you provide in service when you share that compassionately with others.”
Until the next event, wishing you creative magick and love!
