About the Artist
Art as medicine
Artist Statement
Art is an invitation to move beyond the thinking mind into a dreamscape of imagination and energetic receptivity. In my work, I create immersive spaces that allow the viewer to steep in their own waking dream, awakening memories, emotions, and inner worlds often left unexplored. These are not imagined places; they are living, breathing dimensions within us—frequencies that I intentionally transmit through my art.
Each piece is born from the energy of the present moment. I listen to what timeline or story wishes to emerge through me that day. Each piece I create is different from the next because each person is different from the next. My collections are built on the evolution of frequency rather than a repetition of form, colour, or trend. My practice invites viewers to connect with themselves as pure energy, and to interpret their relationship with their environment from that place.
Each piece of Living Art I create is carefully crafted. It begins in my woodshop using both local and exotic hardwoods. Often times, the colour and texture of the hardwood can inspire the undertone of the entire piece. The second phase of the design is the Resin. Resin is glassy, reflective, and deeply rich in colour. It has an aliveness and a movement to it and a chemistry hidden in its nature. Hand-selected crystals and minerals are incorporated into some pieces that either float within the surface or emerge in three-dimensional detail. LED lighting is often incorporated in selected pieces to amplify the interaction of light, colour, and crystalline structure.
An extension of this Living Art practice, The Living Urn (est. 2018). It is a deeply personal, commemorative body of work that incorporates cremation ashes into resin art. I have worked extensively with the texture of ashes exploring new ways to express it through my work. Ash is the purest representation of energy transformation. This work transforms grief into reverence—a reflection of love, life, and the sacred continuity of energy.
Bio – Tannis Seufert
Tannis Seufert is a full-time artist based in the Pacific Northwest of Kitimat, British Columbia, where the quiet rhythm of the North deeply informs her work. Her textured, living landscapes and energetic compositions speak to the sacred relationship between the natural world and the human spirit.
Tannis received a Certificate of Fine Arts at White Cliffe College of Arts & Design in Auckland, New Zealand, and earned a diploma in Fashion, Textile Design & Pattern drafting from Fraser Valley University in British Columbia. She spent over two decades in the fashion industry across New Zealand, Australia, and Canada before transitioning fully to studio art. A lifelong multimedia artist, Tannis has explored photography, leatherwork, screen printing, and furniture restoration, but it was through resin that her art practice fully emerged.
Her artistic foundation is also deeply influenced by over 17 years of study in quantum physics and holistic healing. Her creative process is an act of listening, remembering, and transmitting—an embodiment of the evolving human experience.
Tannis has completed numerous private commissions working with resin over the past 8 years throughout Canada, the USA, Brazil and the South Pacific. Her work has been exhibited at the Kitimat Museum & Art Gallery (2022), Art Vancouver (2024), and George Gallery in Vancouver (2024). She is currently showing work at the Lloyd Gallery in Penticton, BC, exhibited in Kitimat’s Summer Studio Tour (August 2025), the BC Home Show in Vancouver (October 2025) and will return with her Spring Collection to the BC Home Show (March, 2026).
