Empowering Others Through Art | Your Creative Chord Podcast Ep 35
This episode of Your Creative Chord Podcast features my chat with Florida-based artist, Jean Schienle on:the mission of artists,the influence of mentors, andthe power of art to empower others.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Talking with Florida artist Jean Schienle about her art and the motivation that drives her to paint reminded me of something my life mentor, Daisaku Ikeda said, “Culture and the arts create a resonance of shared feeling in people’s hearts and bring them together.”
I asked Jean what motivates her art and she immediately responded with her desire to use art for personal development and the encouragement of others. She practices a philosophy to “be the best I can be and to empower others to reach their potential.”
