A Word from your Facilitator
This tour allows me to blend my two passions: art and technology.
As we navigate the balance between technology and daily life, it's essential to carve out space for tactile and hands-on creative expression.
After completing my Master's in Information Technology in 2005, I reintroduced art into my life and decided to become a professional artist.
For the next 15 years, I pursued art as a second profession before transitioning to full-time entrepreneurship.
For nearly two decades, I have integrated these two fields:
- Using creativity to find solutions to business problems.
- Using technology to enhance my art-making process and exhibitions.
- Teaching others how to harness the therapeutic power of art to cope with life.
This school tour will address the challenges posed by technology in the digital age and offer solutions through art. It will emphasize the significance of creativity in achieving success and explore the real-world possibilities art offers.
Additionally, it will discuss how to achieve a balanced approach, fostering well-rounded personal development.
I am truly excited for this tour, can't wait to see you!
