My presentation was about the Healing Power of Art. I gave my presentation and the challenges that I faced and the amazing discovery that I could actually be a fine art sculptor. Though I had no formal training, I found myself lost in my midlife crisis, and carved my way out through stone carving. There is much I can say about this, and it’s best reading about it in my Memoir, or coming to the Ojai Studio Tour 10/11-13. I love sharing with art lovers, and those young ones that are looking for an outlet for their

self-expression.

This was the focus of my presentation, and I featured artist that have gone through major healing and their artwork helped them heal. I feature 10 Ojai Studio Artists, and received a gift of a video by Steve Adams, documenting my Town Talk.

Here’s how it all began for me after losing 10 years of building my business and losing it in a failed partnership.
