EP 184: Creating Value with Art with Deane Bowers
Creating Value with Art with Deane Bowers
Creating value with art gives us this space where we can express ourselves. It is where we can create something out of nothing. It also helps us destress and find a calm, quiet, and safe space where we can enjoy our time away from the buzz and chaos of life.
The best thing about it is that art evolves. It doesn’t stop in one line. It grows and gives people more ways to express themselves.
Art is perhaps one of the reasons why many people turn their passion for it into something worthwhile. And with that, we welcome our guest, Deane Bowers.
Deane is an artist whose mission is to make this world a more loving, gentler, and kinder place. She gives ordinary objects value by bringing out their best qualities and celebrating their flaws and imperfections.
Deane’s art encourages others to embrace and celebrate their shortcomings.
We talk about the importance of art and the together while apart project.
