Biography

Tina Balmer is a Canadian artist based in Collingwood, Ontario, creating under RemLab Studios Fine Art Gallery. A former cake decorator, Tina began painting in December 2023 as a powerful act of self-healing from C-PTSD. Her work—primarily acrylic on canvas—is emotionally rich, intuitively guided, and deeply expressive. Each piece reflects a personal journey of transformation and resilience, inviting viewers to feel rather than simply observe. What started as therapy quickly evolved into a passionate practice and a platform for giving back; Tina has donated a significant portion of her art to charitable fundraisers supporting causes close to her heart. Her bold use of color, fluid forms, and layered textures evoke both strength and vulnerability, making her work as moving as it is beautiful. Through RemLab Studios, Tina continues to share her story, connect with others, and inspire healing through creativity.
