Slow down and experience Soulscapes through stillness and presence. This morning meditation includes a live sound bath with singing bowls by David Maulsby, followed by a reflective artist panel where we’ll share insights and invite your questions.

Let me introduce you to the other artists in the show:

Ainsley Guzmán Jason

Ainsley is a figurative painter and muralist whose work explores emotional transformation and inner resilience. Since earning her BFA from Alberta University of the Arts in 2017, she has created murals and commissioned pieces across Canada. Her work has been featured in the Comox Valley Record and exhibited at Gage Gallery. Currently, she is painting the world’s largest portrait of Nelson Mandela for a global humanitarian exhibition. Through luminous acrylics and layered brushwork, Ainsley creates emotionally charged portraits that reflect the journey from despair to clarity.

Ken Miner

Ken is a portrait photographer who uses antique cameras and 19th-century wet plate techniques to create haunting, timeless images. His work is driven by emotion, empathy, and the raw presence captured through his slow, deliberate process. Each tintype he produces feels alive—evoking stories that extend beyond the surface. For Ken, the photograph is not just an image but a vessel for connection, memory, and quiet intensity.
 

Bill Porter

Bill is a portrait and figurative artist whose work reflects the inner world—states of mind, moods, and moments of quiet reflection. He uses dramatic lighting to manipulate shadow and form, creating depth and emotional resonance in every piece. Through his nuanced use of light, Bill invites viewers into narratives that honor peace, compassion, and introspection amid the chaos of modern life.
