Hello!
I’m Shawna Tavsky, an artist, art psychotherapist, and creative consultant. My work explores inner experience through art-making and perceptual inquiry.
Artesoma grows from this work as a creative space centered on presence, process, and curiosity.
Artesoma is a space for people interested in what it means to pay attention.
Something has taken our attention. Directed it, fragmented it, made it useful to systems that were never designed with us in mind. The cost is a kind of disconnection from sensation, from presence, from the texture of our own experience.
Portraits
In Mexico City
I create portraits in my home studio through an attentive, collaborative process that values time, presence, and subtlety. Sessions move at a slower pace, allowing stillness and movement to shape both the experience and the portrait.
SELECTED PROJECTS
In Between
An ongoing portrait and drawing series grounded in presence, perception, and the threshold between inner experience and appearance.
The Woman in the Film
A literary work in progress – a novel that emerged from an unfinished art film, shaped by sketches, notes, and memory. The manuscript is currently in revision.
