ERIN PANOSIAN is an abstract artist based in upstate New York. Her work explores the relationship between layers. One being fluid and unpredictable. The other is structured and intentional. Beauty lies in the combination of both dualities.

Her work is defined as a beautiful contradiction. It is a reflection of self and a continual process of learning more about the artist and her craft.

I’m a lifelong artist and world-traveler. I love to experience the people, culture, and histories in person. I love connecting with others in my community. I’ve spent the past several years working in local schools in a variety of capacities. I’m a frequent participant in events at 360 Aurora and have been a part of the markets, summer kids’ activities, small business market, and have offered free kid’s art programs with plans for more. I’m also one of the Sound Healing team for 360’s monthly sound baths. As a lifelong sufferer of extreme anxiety, a late-in-life ADHD diagnoses, and being a trauma survivor; I found my way to sound healing looking for a way to reset and relax. My wild child and I both found so many benefits, it led me to begin the monthly sound healings at 360. This summer, I was presented with an amazing opportunity to bring my Sound Healing and Therapeutic Art Coaching services to Elevate Horseheads.

Nestled in the picturesque countryside of the Endless Mountains of Pennsylvania, Lindy Packard is an artist whose soul resonates deeply with the rhythms of nature and the vibrant pulse of the animal kingdom. Her illustrative paintings serve as a testament to her boundless passion for these themes, capturing the ethereal beauty and intricate details of the natural world.

Lindy's artistic journey is profoundly influenced by the everyday adventures she embarks upon with her two dogs, Huckleberry and Finn, and her beloved horse, Rowan. Together, they explore the enchanting landscapes around her home, infusing her work with a sense of wonder and a touch of the fantastical. This connection to her surroundings allows Lindy to see beauty in even the smallest moments, which she masterfully translates onto her canvas.

Beyond her studio, Lindy's creativity and dedication to her community shine brightly. She has adorned numerous local businesses and the Horseheads/Elmira community with her stunning murals, transforming ordinary walls into vibrant works of art. Each mural tells a unique story, reflecting the character and spirit of the community while showcasing Lindy's exceptional talent and imaginative vision.

Lindy Packard is a true creative force, whose art invites viewers to pause and appreciate the world's magical intricacies. Her work is not just a visual experience but a heartfelt narrative that celebrates the harmony between humans, animals, and nature.

In my opinion, your breath is the single most important connection you can make with your body, for without your breath you simply could not live. Breath work has significant amounts of benefits and effects for your mind, your body and your energy.

Utilizing different breath work techniques can improve your mental clarity, help balance and expand your nervous system, increase your energy naturally, reduce stress and anxiety, regulate your hormones, reduce your blood pressure, and allows you to deepen your own internal connection with the self.

During these 2 breathwork sessions, you can expect to gain mental clarity, shift and increase your energy and access deeper states of consciousness all with your breath. All techniques used can be modified and suited to various levels depending on how comfortable you are going inward.

Come and join me during this breath excursion and see where your breath can take you!
