Join us for a powerful & insightful discussion with visual artist Ingrid V. Wells about paving your path while finding moments of delight along the way. Here’s what we discuss:
1. How a guided meditation led Ingrid to completely shift paths and pursue a career as an artist.
2. Thoughtful strategies for moving forward in the direction of your dreams and living with intention.
3. The importance of our daily habits and approaching life one day at a time. Ask yourself - what can I do today to feel good?
4. The power of practicing generosity and sharing knowledge with each other as we further our own careers.

Her artwork has been shown in New York at the Untitled Space, PULSE Miami with Treat Gallery, internationally in South Korea at the CICA Museum and online with PxP Contemporary.

Wells directs TWIRL: A Decade of Artists Interviews, a 10 year annual interview project that began with 40 artists. The project focuses on studying artist resilience and the survival of artist communities despite unforeseen difficult circumstances. The project launched in February 2020.
