Lysanne Unruh Art Oil and Acrylic painter in Northern Alberta. RCAF Veteran. Mental Health Advocate. I served in the Royal Canadian Air Force for 15 years. Lysanne Unruh

In 2018, I was diagnosed with PTSD due to my tour in Afghanistan in 2009. In 2019, I felt I needed something more to help my mental health over and above therapy and medication and decided to pick up a paintbrush and some cheap paints and paint for the first time in much too long. There began a healing, beautiful journey through art that still continues to this day. Through Youtube videos and prac

tice, I taught myself to paint. I discovered that I love to paint colorful things that make me happy and spark memories. I'm now retired from the military and still working daily on my mental health. I also decided to start my fine art business to spread some of the joy. I will be offering my oil, acrylic, and gouache paintings for sale, both originals and prints. I will also have other products such as cards, bookmarks, and anything else that I get the inspiration to paint on. Thank you for coming with me on this crazy ride!

Welcome to where I’ve been since Monday! I’ve officially reached the age where putting on my boot sent a shooting pain down my leg. Yup, sciatica. I wasn’t able to walk for the first day, let alone sit. Day 4 and I can move a bit more now but in small doses, just walking so my joints and muscles don’t get too stiff. This is NOT how I planned to start out my January, but life happens! I’m finally able to sit up and do some colouring which is a bonus today because I’ve been going stir crazy. My husband has been an absolute god send and I don’t know how I would’ve made it through these last few days without him. I can’t wait to be able to stand for longer periods of time so I can finally get back behind my easel.

That’s a wrap on another commission!!! My daughter called the cat Tostada even though his name is Gnocchi. I’m loving doing these pet portrait commissions and making lasting memories.

Commissions are still open, but not to have it by Christmas! I’m a mom which means this is the busiest time of year due to my daughter’s social and school calendar lol.

Busy day doing my first window painting . The weather warmed up and the sun even came out. Beautiful day to paint.

I still have spots open for commissions if you are looking for the perfect Christmas present. Whether you want a portrait of a furry friend or a loved one, I can make your vision come true.

Art as a creative human expression encapsulates myriad things. It portrays the beauty of life or a bitter reality. It records history, revolutions, rebellions, and sometimes is a means to escape them. In short, there is no history or culture without art. This day celebrates all forms of art — paintings, sculpture, photography, architecture, music, and more. Through this celebration we show our respect for the passion and creativity in all artists.

Another commission completed. Don’t be fooled, I restarted the trees 4 times! lol. But I love the final result

HUGE shoutout to Frames N' Things for making my vision come to life with the matting and frame for my art piece. Incredibly helpful, personable, and supportive of local artists. I cannot rave enough about the amazing customer service I received. I can’t wait to see my piece hanging at the gallery in Lloydminster.

That’ll be $130,000. No low ballers. Will never spoil. Will not be eaten. lol.

I always use the banana duct tapped to a wall story when I tell people art is subjective.
