Ignited by Life

Yelena Joy
I have drawn images since I first held a pencil, but being an artist wasn’t what my family had in mind for me. I studied for and built a career in medicine. Art, however, continued to be my refuge and my recourse, the art itself taking different forms in different periods of my life.
As a sensitive child, I have been profoundly moved by life’s events, and in my case, art was the expression that happened in this collaboration with Lifeforce. When people say that Artist is a lonely career, I disagree. Even when I paint in my studio alone, I am ignited by life, nature, recent conversation, world events, and people’s stories.

Jane Warren
Creativity is that life-affirming energy that moves in and through us all. Creativity takes all sorts of forms and delights and amuses me when I pay exquisite attention to its pull for expression. Wonder poems are one such expression! Coupled with the beauty of Yelena's visual expression, Have You Ever Wondered still puts a grin on my face every time I read it!
