Art Island S2E6: Tessa Mythos - Painter
In Episode 6 of ART ISLAND Season 2, filmmaker Zsofin Sheehy meets Tessa Mythos, a visionary artist whose work explores the rich tapestry of nature, myth, and human emotion. Tessa sees art as a bridge-a path of connection between the known and the metaphysical. She shares how her creative journey is inspired by the rhythms of nature, the mysteries of dreams, and the links between all living things. With art as her sanctuary and meditation, Tessa reflects on how embracing cycles of growth and decay deepens her connection to the earth, fostering gratitude and stewardship. Through her paintings, she invites us to find healing, confront our shadows, and explore a path forward rooted in compassion and transformation.
[About Tessa Mythos]
Tessa Mythos is a visual artist from Victoria and Hornby Island B.C. Canada. Deeply inspired by the wild and natural beauty of the west coast, Tessa creates visionary and mythically inspired paintings exploring the interconnectivity of Humanity, Nature and the Divine. In her practice, art acts as as a sacred bridge in the connection between mind and heart, imagination and intuition that can help heal in the personal and collective psyche and express the transcendental experience. Tessa exhibits her work internationally while continuing to show and work on Hornby Island B.C.

    This island looks like heaven on earth. I'm hooked on watching these fabulous little slices of life. The people who live there seem totally contented, not an easy thing but they seem to have mastered it. Need to explore more clips to see if there's any winter videos, it will be interesting to see what it's like all year round. Thank you so much for sharing.

Une femme d'une grande sensibilitée. Il y a beaucoup de gens qui confond les anges et le démons, et peut-etre que c'est le cas ici? Je te conseille de ne pas laisser tes peurs t'induire en erreur.

    I envy the camaraderie, the creativity, the group work, the era , 'the price of eggs', back then .

Thank you for not going to Vietnam ❤❤❤

    Excellent. This lady speaks about art in the way it is meant to be spoken. Without explanation she explains the feelings of creating and not being able to create along with the process of listening to the "muse" and acceptance that it is not always present. Creatives know when the flow is upon them and the almost desolation of when it's not. Anne Ngan is a treasure.
