In memory of Christina Welker, White Raven. 1956-2021
One of the things I cherish most in my life is being at the right place at the right time and, not knowing so long ago, the day I crossed paths with Christina my life would never be the same. From the moment our lives met through the very serendipitous circumstances, she remained to me as the most foundational, loving and nurturing teacher in my life. She was an extraordinarily gifted Starseed child who knew she wasn’t from here. She communicated with animals from a very young age, she could hear the voices in the Spirit of the trees and stones and the wind. She was a medicine woman and a healer. She taught me the language of connecting to the earth though prayer and giving back to the earth what has been imparted. She taught me to always ask and to acknowledge those who have walked before us. On our field walks in the foothills of the Rockies she would reach for her drum and sing to the plants. She taught me to listen to the plant kingdoms and pay attention to what plant spirit is asking to become medicine. She consistently stood quietly in the sphere of my life and loving guided and nudged me in the right direction. There are those who love you and then there are those special people who extend heart and love when you feel most lost or emply, she was that person for me. She held space for me and watched my inner world bloom as I slowly began to step into Being. With Christina, came Meesha, a beautiful black Shepard that became my best friend and Eternal inspiration.
I am so deeply moved and forever grateful for your presence in my life.

This rich contemporary piece is a unique and playful composition reflective of the family it was created for celebrating the life of their 2 fur companions. Quiet pet wisdom and the unconditional love of an animal can heal, can love, can guide.
We commissioned Tannis to create a piece to commemorate our beautiful angel boxers, Madison and Zoe. Not only is Tannis a gifted artist but her spiritual and emotional commitment to her craft made the entire experience a beautiful and positive process. From finding the perfect place for our piece, getting connected to our girls spirit and letting the piece take shape, she involved us in the entire process!
We absolutely love our piece and will treasure it forever, while we keep our girls close. Thank you Tannis!

Light as energy is prismatic, it hold a spectrum and a quality of reflection and refraction. Light as perception is much the same. Perception is dimensional, multifaceted and can take lifetimes to fully interpret how it behaves as one simple spectrum, yet still differentiated. As we gracefully move through life, progressively in the direction of our natural current, may your light prism become brighter. The soul’s journey is one of patience & grace.

Light & Energy danced around this piece revealing the magic of the story and strong connection to the Natural World. You may see her figure praying, leaning into the heart of the matter.
I was gifted a custom piece of art from my friends to commemorate my late grandparents. At the time I was struggling deeply with their passing. Tannis was sensitive to the situation and waited for me to reach out to her on my own time. When we got together to talk about my piece, I didn’t know her at all. Her kind demeanor eased me into the situation. We talked for a long time and in the end, she was a key factor in my healing. I later received my piece of art and I was absolutely amazed in how she embodied my grandparents and our relationship. Tannis presented the piece with a song that completely linked my ancestors and myself to the piece – It was an amazing experience. I will forever cherish my art and time I had with Tannis.
