Visual Art – Toronto
Welcome to my page. Thank you for being here. I'd like to introduce myself, My name is Tayah and I've been creating art since I was young. I've dabbled in many mediums, sketching, painting, I've even dabbled in tattooing. I love working with clay and my cricut, but mostly, I love working with Crystals, Gemstones and Epoxy Resin. The story crystals and gemstones have is truly awe inspiring! Why do I love creating art that resembles Geodes and Agates you may ask? Because they're story is quite similar to my own.
I love the process that a rock goes through. It gets buried deep underground and it has to face immense pressure, heat and it has to be there for a really long time; and instead of crushing and breaking under that pressure, or melting away in that heat, or disintegrate over that time, it actually goes through metamorphic experience,
and it transforms into the beautiful crystals, and it develops the beautiful striate (striations), and beautiful colors and stripes that it has. It literally takes the earth moving, and shifting for that rock to find its way back up to the surface; so that we can hopefully find it. And when we do finally find it, its still just a grey, ugly, rock. We literally have to crack it open to see the beauty within.
Think about your life friend, think about all the hard things you have walked through, the pressure, the heat, how long it took you, but it didn't crush you, It didn't break you. By the grace of god it creates the beauty within you. And I see it, I see that beauty in each and every one. And each gem, Geode and Agate I used in my art.
For those of you who do know my story, you know I am kind of just like a geode. I've been through so much tragedy, trauma, pressure, and literal hell fire heat. I didn't break, I didn't give up, I've made it back to the surface as beautiful as ever.
My love and passion for working with Epoxy Resin started during COVID and as I continue on my self-healing journey. Art has always been a therapeutic outlet for me, as said before, I've had a lot of difficulties in this lifetime and Art, has always been my escape to somewhere more beautiful, more peaceful. It gives me space to allow my creativity to flow, I love challenging myself and pushing my imagination to new places. Art truly invokes peace, tranquility, and positive energy in me and I believe this is essential. My hope is that each unique piece can bring some peace, tranquility, and positive energy into your life as well.
