We’re beyond excited to feature the powerful work of artist and friend Leisa Marie in the two of our recent projects. Her art is a soulful blend of healing, connection, and story. Rooted in four generations of creativity and a deep trauma-informed practice. Her pieces bring depth and meaning to this space, inviting us all to reconnect and let our wonder run wild. @wonderbarcreative #WestCoastLiving #DreamHome #Homes #Design #HomeDesign #Interior #Custom

ARTWORK ON THE ROAD:

One of the biggest mistakes people make when creating art, is thinking about the finished product when they get started!

If you’re thinking about what it will look like in the end before you even put paintbrush to paper, you will constantly be trying to control it - learning to stay out of the way, and let watercolours do their thing with the paper, will reap results that are beyond your expectations!

We live in such a beautiful place, inspiration is everywhere! Slow down, inhale and exhale, pay attention to the colours, the textures, and all the space in between. This will not only help your artistic process, but your nervous system will thank you!

All of my artwork includes a short story of its inspiration and the song or playlist that accompanied my process.

Celebrating a beautiful collaboration with River Haven Farm - supporting corporate leadership groups and healing journeys through the power of therapeutic arts and the quiet wisdom of horses…

Stay tuned for upcoming workshop announcements!

Introducing a collaboration that paints healing in a whole new light - where the soulful presence of horses meets the expressive power of art. 🎨🐴 We’re thrilled to announce a new collaboration between River Haven Farm and Leisa Marie of Wonder Bar Creative – two kindred paths uniting to offer transformative experiences where therapeutic art meets the quiet wisdom of horses. Grounded in our shared belief that true healing begins when people feel seen, supported, and free to express what lives within them, we’re blending the intuitive presence of our herd with Leisa’s trauma-informed, soul-centered art practice. The result: gentle, restorative workshops that open space for clarity, creativity, and deep inner change. We can’t wait to welcome you into this vision - where brushstrokes mingle with birdsong, stillness meets hoofbeats, and newfound insight blooms. Stay tuned for workshop announcements – coming soon!! #wonderbarcreative #riverhavenfarm #collaborationovercompetition #creativehealing #therapeuticart #horsesandart #artisfoodforthesoul #healingthroughexpression #natureandcreativity #equinefacilitatedwellness #equineinspiredlife
