Blueberry Wheels Janet Oh


A painter for more than 20 years, Janet Oh fi rst parlayed her degree in fi ne art and design into a career as an award- winning 3-D artist in the video game industry. After the birth of her second child, she decided to focus on her art and family. Blueberry Wheels was inspired by


Oh’s bike rides around Lady Bird Lake, in Austin, Texas, and depicts the city’s skyline in the bright palette of bold colors favored by the artist. “I’ve been called a free spirit by my friends and family, and this painting refl ects that side of me,” says Oh. “When I’m on my bicycle, I can let go of everything that might hold me back.” Oh, whose art is exhibited in local galleries and held in private collections, is currently working on a series of paintings called Healing Shamans, inspired by the towering bald cypress trees of Caddo Lake State Park, in Jefferson, Texas. “Art is like a dear old friend—mostly predictable, but occasionally containing a surprise for me,” she says. “It has led my spiritual growth.”

Gifted Touch Offers Cupping Therapy for Pain Relief


I


ssues in your Tissues? Sports Injury or Accident? Look no further. Cupping is a form of vacuum therapy that can be used in conjunction with massage therapy or by itself to reduce pain, relieve adhesions from past trauma or injury and ultimately improve overall function and fl exibility of the body. Great adjunct to all the other therapies (such as sports massage, deep tissue and neuromuscular therapy),


cupping can reach deeper layers than our hands alone. Hence, the effects far outweigh those of solely massage for someone seeking pain relief, improved sports performance—even lymphatic drainage. Call Krissy 407-399-4766 to schedule your fi rst session. The results will speak for themselves.
