Living Urn
Art can be a bridge between worlds.
What is a Living Urn …
A Living Urn is a One of a Kind, commissioned, Artist crafted, Resin Wall Art Painting that incorporates your Loved Ones Ashes directly into the Art.
Sentimental jewelry and other small objects of meaning can be added in to further personalize your special piece. LED lighting can be a beautiful feature to illuminate your Art in the evening.
The concept of my Living Urn has continued to evolve over the past several years and continues to offer comfort and peace through the bereavement process. It is a natural unfolding in the healing process, a way to let go through love and the creative spirit.
Heirloom Collections
These collections focus on combinations of 3D Crystal and Smooth Surface styles commissioned by families who celebrate their lost loved One by incorporating their ashes into a collection of pieces of art that will be cherished for generations to come. They reflect the unique qualities and character of each family’s story.
*Living Urn paintings can be created with or without the use of ashes.
“The process was intuitive, filled with beauty, lots of tears, and a caring vulnerability that
I am confident only Tannis could embody.”
How the Living Urn came to be…
When I found out my father was terminally ill with cancer in 2018, and close to his transition time, the idea of incorporating his ashes into my art practice and onto a canvass emerged. When we lose someone dear to us, the physical miss of their presence settles into our bones and it awakens things in us that we have never felt before. Grief can be a great teacher if you let it.
