Biography

: aynz; July 14th, 2010

Aynsley Nisbet is an abstract artist from Edmonton, Alberta. Her medium of choice is oils, and she paints with a unique style resembling that of "cubism". Originally being from Vancouver, British Columbia, much of her inspiration still comes from the spirit of the West Coast. Many of her paintings contain very spiritual and anthropomorphic images, exploring themes of shamanism, the connectivity to nature and universal energy.

Aynsley has studied Anthropology for several years at Grant MacEwan University. As her passion for learning about other cultures grew, so did her interest in alternative ways of healing. She is currently enrolled in the Holistic Health Practitioner Program at the same University, specializing in several forms of energy work, such as Reiki. Aynsley has also spent the past decade studying Astrology on a personal level. After spending a lot of her time researching different spiritual belief systems, the Zodiac is something she felt the most connected to. "It allows me to understand people on a greater level. A chart can illuminate ones personality, and also indicate where our weaknesses lie." She admires the idea that we are all different, but important parts of the greater picture - which in her case, is the Zodiac. Much of her artistic inspiration and today's motivation comes from her recent studies, and she has realized the difference she can make by combining healing with visual art.

While keeping a part-time school status, Aynsley is able to focus on her art (and even music), and spends most of her time doing custom artwork (as well as painting for herself), running workshops, and providing a space for those who need to heal. Aynsley has a private art studio and gallery in Edmonton called The Organic Zodiac ~ Healing Arts Cafe. For her, art is a part of her personal evolution, true expression and loves sharing it's powers with others. Her studio is a collaborative space, and home to several holistically based businesses and other artists.

Exploring Your Chakras - Dry Brush Technique
Using Aynsley's self-discovered technique of blending and using very little paint, in an abstract and intuitive manner, the purpose of the workshop is to explore the student's own artistic expression with only guidance from the artist. The use of guided group meditations have also been applied in some classes, creating beautiful results. This workshop will specifically aim toward exploring our sacred energy centers, the Chakras, to help provide greater awareness of oneself. It will focus on fading as a technique to move with the colours, from one end of the canvas to the other. Each student will be given one large canvas (24"X48") to use for the duration of the eight-hour course.

TIME: Sundays 10am-6pm
