Lea K. Tawd
is an Artist, Author, and Reiki Master/Teacher. She makes heart-centered, spiritual artwork that explores the divine feminine and is infused with Reiki energy healing.
She has been exhibiting her work for over 20 years and has been featured on the online publication Canvas Rebel, and the Art Biz Podcast among many others.
Her work can be seen online or in person by scheduling a visit to her home studio in Portland, Oregon.
My paintings tell stories of the divine feminine.
They are inspired by visions seen during meditation, energy healing, and lunar rituals in which seeds of personal and community growth are planted.
I am interested in painting women as subjects because of the sacred power and beauty I have found in my own femininity. When I began this ongoing body of work I was searching for these things because I did not see myself as beautiful or strong. Over the years my art has been one way of seeing through that darkness to the truth of my own magic as well as a way of illuminating the inner magic of others.
Each painting is infused with healing energy, literally through my own healing practice, as well as visually using harmonious compositions and detailed bits of pointillism to represent the life force energy that flows through us all.
"Lea’s art is beautiful and heart-centered! I love displaying her work in my healing arts office." --Savannah Mayfield Roberson
"Lea's art is my favorite! I have her work throughout my studio. The personality that shines through each piece puts me in a better place,so much so that I kind of have a habit of gifting her art goodies to friends and family as well." --Rebecca Sander
"I simply love Lea and her work! She is such a sweet, gentle soul and her healing presence comes through in her art. I have some of her prints and get compliments on them in my space. I was recently honored to have Lea create a custom piece called "Return to Center" inspired by my work [as a body worker]! It is absolutely beautiful and it was a joy to virtually get to see the phases of it in creation!" --Karen Asbury
"I have several pieces of Lea's art. They all send out a wave of healing energy when you look at them. Her prints are hand embellished & printed in a way that I would never have guessed they were prints. I am planning to commission one of her winged portraits for myself soon. I highly recommend working with Lea if you're looking for one of those unforgettable, magical gifts!" --Dianna Fontes
"Lea is an amazing artist, her art is original, colorful and done with love and understanding of the human psyche and soul. The paintings are great for any area of one's house, studio, or office and evoke conversation, meditation and heart. I have many pieces that Lea has made for me, paintings, prints and cards, and I love them all." --Sue
