Sasha's Bio

I have been a creative individual all my life with some of my earliest recollections being the making of paper dolls and designing clothing for them. As I've grown, I've dabbled in many mediums as colors, patterns, and textures have always fascinated me.
Throughout the years, I've taken occasional art courses when time and money have allowed; drawing, oils, photography, and charcoal. I experiment a lot.  I've also taken workshops in poetry, creative writing, and Proprioceptive writing and I've had two books of poetry published.

The 1990s found me working with combos--- part painting, part using findings from nature, and part creating with small items that I find interesting. One of my favorite pieces is one in which I used all the earrings that I had as a young woman.

  
I also made use of some of the slates my father had given me.

In my photography, I try to keep the pictures true. My only enhancements are cropping and adjusting light and contrast. It is important for me to capture the images as I first saw them and I never "arrange" a setting.

This is a sample of what the outgoing tide leaves.

Getting involved in charcoal landscape drawing has been a radical and interesting change as I've always focused on color. Now, as I travel around, I not only see the beauty in its natural setting, but I'm considering how it would look in black and white. Working with charcoal brings a bit of a mystery to the projects.


Life is an artistic journey and I want to share what I "see."  As an artist, I am always looking for that "something different" to set my work apart. I can explore the feelings of emptiness as well as play Native American Flute to bring me to that place where creativity lies.  I hope you enjoy what you see.

Graduated from the NH Institute of Therapeutic Arts in 1988 where I learned a variety of massage techniques, then took subsequent additional classes throughout the years.

Certified as a Healing Tao Instructor in 1994. I've been teaching Tai Chi and healing meditations since then.

Leadership Training in 1997 where I learned to run women's support groups. Led classes at the Women Supporting Women Center in Exeter, the Women's Consortium in Portsmouth, and Portsmouth Adult Ed.

Cosmic Healing in 1998 where I learned further use of energy in healing practices.

In 2009, I was juried in two mediums (charcoal landscape drawings and photography) by the Hillsborough Area Artisans and I also became a member of NH Made.

I've also studied with a couple of Native American medicine people. Plus I have read many, many books on healing through writing, poetry, art, self-help, and other techniques.
