“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.”   Pablo Picasso
Tiziana D’Angelo is a heART-centered artist, meditation teacher, yoga instructor, sound bath practioner, and intuitive guide. She has been inspiring people of all ages through the process of art, gentle yoga movement, meditation, and mindfulness for over 30 years allowing play and curiosity to guide the way. 
Tiziana always had a love for meditation and practicing present-moment awareness. She travelled to India in 1996 and learned many meditation techniques. In 1997, she received her Bachelor in Education. Tiziana was always guided by her intuition. In 1998, she had a dream of an art bus and felt inspired to leave her teaching career to bring this idea to fruition and offer children and their families more creative art experiences through the Messy Hands Art Buses (1999-2015). She studied Mindfulness Meditation with world-renowned, Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh and his team at a mindfulness certification course for teachers in 2013. 
In 2015, Tiziana received her YTT training and became a certified Kripalu yoga teacher. She opened a yoga and art studio in King City called “Stretching Canvas’. The studio closed in 2020 due to the pandemic. This allowed Tiziana the opportunity to be mobile and continue to provide her offerings to families and businesses in and around the GTA as well as virtually.
Through her courses and workshops, Tiz invites people of all ages to connect to the child within and create freely by engaging the head, heart, and hands (brain + heart coherence). Tiziana and her team continue to offer her expressive art programs in schools, and for the corporate world through her company ‘Stretching Canvas’, offering team-building workshops through meditation, yoga, and art. 
Some of her past clients have been Maple Leaf Sports, BMO, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Pineapple, CMHA, York Region Public Health, and YCDSB. 
Tiziana and her creations have been featured on CityTV, CTV, The Globe & Mail, and The Toronto Star. She has provided her charitable services to help children and their families at the Hospital for Sick Children,  Ronald McDonald House, and Creating Alternatives.
Creating with heartfelt intention is always the starting point for any of Tiz’s workshops which bring balance to the nervous system, to gain clarity, and brain and heart coherence. Tiz’s offerings allow clients to surrender to the creative process, feel their aliveness,  realize their gifts, embrace their magnificence, and step into the radiant, resilient, conscious creator that they are, to better serve their work, families, and the world.
