Inspired by a personal journey to positive well-being, a new Amelia Douglas Gallery exhibit opens today, searching for the connection between mental health and spiritual consciousness.

In The Drishti Experience, Vancouver-based artist Deb Chaney searches to find meditative flow in her wellness.

“This collection of mixed media abstract works is personal and meaningful, serving as a visual summary of the insights I gained along my healing journey toward well-being,” said Chaney.

The Drishti Experience features seven large-scale mixed media paintings, whose creation was guided by three meditative principles: connection, space and focus.

Chaney symbolizes these principles in her art using the sacred geometrical symbol of the “flower of life,” which represents the cycle of creation and the interconnectedness of life. Centering around “Drishti” or the “focused gaze,” she said she hopes her paintings will draw viewers into the art itself and along their own healing journeys.

The opening reception is Nov. 7, 4:30pm at the New Westminster Campus’s Amelia Douglas Gallery. The exhibit runs until Jan. 9. Admission is free.
