Connuence works through six art landscapes, educational programs and public gatherings in collaboration with Northwest Tribes and communities, according to its website. The paid internship at Connuence will allow Connelly to spend time developing her craft and work in classrooms with students and teachers. This year-long position is funded by The Roundhouse Foundation, an Oregon nonproot. <I am an artist entrepreneur amplifying the spiritual lifeways of Indig- enous cultures in both modern and traditional practices,= she said in a press release. <I show this through paintings, portraits and conversations focusing on healing in the community. I also offer public speaking services and art workshops on healing and creating through intuition. My co-cre- ations are innuenced by my connection to Spirit and the land. I paint with ink because it perfectly portrays the energy movements that I capture, at times, I layer other mediums to add texture as well. I started Twahna Creation because my connection to my culture and art was the catalyst of healing my inner tribulations and traumas, a continuous journey. This took over my life in early 2020, at the same time I also took in and began raising my little brother. That was the orst time I ever painted abstractly and I haven9t stopped since.= þ ELDER CENTER NEWSLETTER H A P P Y N E W Y E AR $1,000 Hire-On Bonus All Positions $500 Referral Bonus SMC & CTGR Employees *Part-time employees are eligible for a 20% differential pay to their base wage if they are scheduled to work up to 29.99 hours per week.
