All artists are called to create - and some of us are called to reach beyond the studio to co-create based on our visions of Healing, Mindfulness, Love and Peace. The callings of the light worker/artist are the subject of this discussion among 4 women walking that path. The talk, presented by Artists Talk on Art, will be based on personal experience of this way of life and its unique rewards and challenges.
Please join us on MONDAY, APRIL 4th at 7PM via Zoom at the following link:

Linda DiGusta (organizer, moderator and creator of this blog) spent nearly 2 decades as primarily an art writer and artist in New York City. Highlights of her career were co-editing the online magazine Resolve40 and sharing a Huffington Post blog with her late partner, artist Mark Wiener and having her drawings of (mainly) pears presented in galleries and museums in New York and internationally, including the 2009 thematic group projects "A Book About Death" and "Black Madonna." Most recently, in response to what she sees as a turning point in the arts and the world in general, she has returned to her roots and extended her studies of human development both in creating the content of The Superhero's Way podcasts and blog, and to create a new life coaching program for artists. She is currently writing a book based on the same themes, titled Art & Soul.

Kristin Reed is a painter and shamanic Reiki Master teacher living and working in Brooklyn. After earning an MFA from Pratt in the early 80s she made street art—murals, stencils, posters, and billboards on topics including world peace, gentrification and the environment. Her paintings have been shown in major museums and one of her street billboards was shown at The DIA Foundation in SOHO, then more recently in The Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, Mitchell-Inness and Nash Gallery in Chelsea, and at The Glasgow Women’s Library during the recent 26th UN Climate Change Conference. In 2005 when Reed became a Reiki Master/Teacher her work as a healer dramatically affected her painting which took a turn toward abstraction. With a group called Healer2Healer that exchanges healing knowledge with indigenous Maya and Amazonian populations, she trained a group of Mayan women in Guatemala, certifying them to the Master level of Reiki. These women now use Reiki with their Mayan knowledge to heal and train their own communities. http://www.kristinreed.com/
