You've probably heard of triggers, but have you heard of ✨glimmers✨?

While triggers activate stress or pain, glimmers are small moments that allow your nervous system to feel safe, connected, or calm.

Healing is about more than reducing triggers. Growing your capacity to feel goodness is a tool for healing, as well.

Who is Kris Tackitt?
Kris Tackitt is a Rochester native, growing up in North Greece and the 1000 Islands in the summer time. She graduated from Hilton High School and Boces in 1983 and has been a hairstylist for over 40 years, taking time off for a few years to be a stay-at-home mom. She has two daughters, Shelley and Elizabeth that grew up in the 1000 Islands. She moved home after living in the 1000 Islands year round in 2015, getting back into hairdressing full time and teaching Cosmetology at Continental School of Beauty. Kris has always been artistic and loved painting with acrylic paints, but when she discovered Fluid Acrylic Painting, she discovered her favorite way to create art…ironically with a blowdryer!

Who is John Cieslinski?
Born in Rochester and lived in Rochester for the last eighty years. Only out of Rochester for school and a stint in Peace Corps Philippines. Married to Maureen; five children, nine grandchildren and six great grandchildren. I have taught Middle School English for forty years in Hilton, NY. I have had some of my plays and poetry published. I now own Books, ETC. in Macedon, NY with my sister, Maryanne. The bookstore is the residence for two internationally famous cats, Clint and Torkey.

Artist Statement:
Like all artists, my art comes from a deep need to be. I have enjoy many media pencil, pen and ink, pastels and acrylics. Right now I’m concentrating on the art of affirmation. Each piece represents an affirmation. When a person looks at the work it reminds him/her of the affirmation…the positive thought they need to move forward with their life.
