Her lecture inspires us to expand our cultural perspectives and form a dynamic creative foundation through reflections on artists who are committed to life giving values including: Maria Martinez, a Pueblo Potter, the wood workers of Kyoto, Japan, painters from Australia who honor their aboriginal ancestry, the weavers of Chiapas, Mexico, DIY and leading contemporary artists. Audiences are invited to refine insight on the relationship of creativity to a continuity of generations, concepts of time, the significance of beauty, craftsmanship, our daily lives and spiritual well being.
