After a fruitful holiday season, BLISS Studio owner and award-winning artist Kelly Grace Field is embracing the introspective pull of deep winter with a special reopening on Saturday, Jan. 24, from noon to 4pm. The event, “A Makeover of BLISS”, will feature the studio’s new healing arts space, Field’s latest artwork, a New Year sale, yummy treats and the opportunity to engage in blissful, heart-centered conversation.
“Bliss is that state of peace, love and joy. It’s our highest vibrational field,” Field said. “We do that through sound, color and what we are radiating from ourselves … I want my art, my teaching and my healing practices to [help create that bliss]. That’s my intention.”
Located at 1370 Main Street in Carbondale (west of Ace Hardware), BLISS is a dynamic boutique that captures the synergy between Field’s three archetypes: artist, healer and educator. BLISS opened in October 2025, and originally served as a gathering place to view Field’s collection of contemporary fine art, delightful miniature sculptures, photography and small gifts, such as earrings, bookmarks and journals. Starting this month, Field is expanding her offerings to include healing body work, personal coaching sessions and commissioned artwork. The idea is for BLISS to become a holistic place where the mind, body and soul can experience respite as well as growth.
In the “Blissful Body, Mind and Soul” healing body work sessions, Field will rely on over 20 years of massage therapy expertise to provide individualized therapies, including: acupressure, nervous system reset, reiki energy, vibrational sound and breathwork.
“My thumbs and wrists have decided they’re done with deep tissue massages,” she said. “I’m more interested in nervous system reset work and hands-on healing … I did a lot of self-help work with my massage clients using fascia and jaw release work, and I want to blend that in.”
For heart coherence between oneself and/or others, clients can book a “Blissful Relationships” coaching session. In these sessions, Field uses affirmations and heart-centered wisdom to teach effective strategies for radiating love from within, and attracting that of others.
“My husband John and I met in the spiritual community and we both trained for four years to become a step below minister,” said Field. “We’ve led three relationship retreats, present workshops and we really like to do ritual ceremonies.” Their counseling, Field noted, is non-denominational and focuses on opening one’s heart toward unconditional, divine love of self and others.
A natural artist
Soft spoken and quick to laugh, Field is a lifelong artist with a gift for seeing the magic in life’s minute details. She grew up exploring the forests and lakes of Bellingham, Washington, while using art to express herself.
“My mom was uber creative, because we were super poor,” Field shared. “We made art out of garbage — like dollhouses from milk cartons. We’d wallpaper the walls and make little beds by hand. Instead of buying things, we would make things.”
A testament to her youth, Field, who has a dual master’s degrees in art and education, creates miniature sculptures, repurposing found materials like bits of marble and river stones for portrayals of cats or bumblebees. The pieces are fixed onto soft stone, adorned with crystals, and are suitable as wall hangings or ornaments.
At BLISS, Field’s large-scale contemporary paintings command the studio’s wall space. Each piece, inspired by nature, complements the other as far as style, but it is the unique color palettes that evoke various moods or nostalgic memories of long-lost places. Field utilizes color schemes that fall into one of the earthly elements: water, air, earth and fire. She then employs a technique that involves dripping fluid acrylic paint on canvas, using gravity to direct the paint’s flow.
In one painting, Field experimented with deep black, crackling white, shades of red, orange and yellow and bits of hematite, which, altogether, resemble a sweeping Hawaiian landscape at sunset with lava flow. As a final touch, Field added a striking piece of driftwood, eliciting an ancestral feel.
Brightly lit with views of Mushroom Rock, BLISS is curated on the principles of feng shui. Each area represents the elements with meaningful color schemes. Field, who studied feng shui, said harmonizing her studio helps visitors gravitate toward pieces or styles that best suit their internal nature. With the “Blissful Spaces” package, she customizes artwork to create intentional frequencies and flow, akin to feng shui, using color and sacred-space design.
“When I lived in Seattle, I went into homes and set up feng shui rooms,” Field explained. “By moving furniture, adding lighting and certain color tones to the space it feels more balanced.”
With the implementation of BLISS’s latest offerings, Field is ready to shift toward the growing light season and help others express their inner light and bliss.
