MA/CRMT: Reiki Master Teacher, Creative Life Coach & Artist 

For Marion Corbin Mayer it is all about teaching, change, and joy.  "My intent is to help others regain creativity and health, moving away from a focus on illness and blocks. Everyone is creative. Everyone has a story that needs to be told in some way. An hour on the Reiki table refreshes and relaxes people in this stressed out world. It allows room to actually hear the still small voice inside. It's a very sacred time." Reiki can help “recharge your batteries”. This energy can be used for healing, for creative expression, or solving stressful problems. Marion is excellent with clients who have never experienced Reiki healing before. Her compassionate honesty and humor help to put them quickly at ease with the process.

Reiki sessions with Marion focus on empowerment: regaining health and creative energy through Reiki and Creative Life Coaching.

As a facilitator, Marion offers several programs to help people discover & recover their creativity.  She is also available to lead retreats or speak with groups on various topics.  Click here to request a speakers packet.

Artist’s Statement

Marion Corbin-Mayer, MA

  Art is an integral part of my life.  When I paint, I strive to connect with my subject visually & energetically to capture the spirit of the person or place.  Primarily I work with oils, but I also enjoy pastels.    My three areas of focus are landscapes, pet portraits & collage work.

Landscape painting:

One reason I love “plein air” (on location) painting is that I am able to connect with the landscape on a visceral level as I work to portray the light & spirit of each location.  When I work from photo reference, I choose to use my own photography so that I can remember being there as I paint.  It is my hope that you, the viewer can also share the experience through my work. 

Pet Portraits:

I love painting animals & pets because they look at you without pretence.  No worries about their hair or physical beauty.  Usually I work from photo reference supplied by the owners, with a studio visit by the subject mid way so that I may adjust the color and get to know them better.

 Collage:

Sometimes I choose to “play” with collage and create objects or decorate furniture.  It’s all about allowing my intuition to interact with materials to create something of beauty.  At times I take recycled frames and create unique collaged frames for my more abstract paintings.  This is when my “magpie spirit” takes over & the glitter comes out!

 

"The world's engagement of beauty is my bible,
and Art is my religion.
I come to it as a child,
and I add all the grown wisdom I can gather.
Creativity is my salvation.
My easel is the altar.
My paints are the sacraments.
My brush is my soul's movement,
And to do poorly, or not to work, is a sin."
