Unveiling my journey

Artwork and story from Júlia Arden

My Story:

Art has become more than a passion for me—it’s a way of understanding the world and expressing the emotions that words can’t capture. My journey began after being inspired by a powerful painting I saw at my university, when learning to become a Special Needs Educator and Therapist in 2021. Since then, drawing has become my way of exploring vulnerability, strength, and connection.

The piece I am entering, Unveiled, represents my evolving perspective as an artist.

The Bird Watcher

Artwork and story from Jeanne Marston

I have been painting for over 80 years – yes, since I was 6 or 7 years old. I was an orphan and lived in a state run facility. My first and favorite recollection happened one Christmas when we were all given a box of crayons and a coloring book with tracing paper between each page. I was smitten. I spent many quiet hours on my stomach, on the floor, filling every page.

Astrology is a technique that has been developed since very early ages. It is a tool to determine the quality of time. In the past, kings and queens consulted their astrologers to select the best times to decide or start a process. In a modern sense, Astrology can also benefit self-analysis and self-improvement.
