DISCOVERING THE JOY OF MAKING ART
Author Jessica Faith Graham leads a conversation with five other artists, including woodworker Karl Zinsmaster, painter and sculptor Terry Hudson, musician Bob Michaels, actor/director/producer Cindy Franck, and wildcrafter Randy Boyle. Stories from the artists will reveal how they discovered their individual creative passions, and why they continue to find joy in the arts they practice.
ABOUT JESSICA FAITH GRAHAM
Jessica Faith Graham, MA, is a counselor, holistic life coach, mindfulness mentor, parenting and lifestyle blogger, and the author of the self-love children’s book, The Love Inside.
With degrees in counseling, psychotherapy, fine arts, and education, and a certification in mindfulness mentorship, Jessica’s work with clients and at youth events builds self-compassion for a better world.
Along with her degree in education, Jessica’s work experience in AmeriCorps and with school districts — and her personal experience as a mother of three! — inspires her to connect with students, educators, and youth leaders from all walks of life. Through her close connections with the thoughts, struggles, and dreams of children and their families, one thing became abundantly clear: mental health, self-esteem, and how a child sees themselves in the world means everything.
Now, as she leverages her knowledge, understanding, and passion into children’s literature, she shares essential messages of encouragement for a generation of children that need it the most.
