Lean In. A Soul-full Speaker Series

$25.00

THIS IS A BOGO TICKET! We are calling them ME + ONE tickets. Bring a friend for FREE!
The first evening in our 2018 Speaker Series where we explore the intersection of art/creativity and well-being through personal stories. This is a series where we can talk intimately, candidly, kindly, and openly about art and well-being in and around our lives. All are welcome.
For this February evening we will be welcoming Ceallaigh Smart from Print The Love, and Autumn Lee from Autumn Lee Studios.

More about Autumn Lee:
Hi, I'm Autumn

I am an international photographer whose perpetually unmade bed is in Minneapolis, Minnesota and is currently filled with a husband {who I am pretty sure is a superhero}, my two amazingly loving {and loud} children, and a very {very} fat cat.
For me photography is always, always about sharing the love every day, with everyone, everywhere.
Photography is purely about finding the light within you and your loved ones, and using the camera to capture that brightness.
The words that best describe me are spontaneous, open-minded, emotionally connected, and creatively in tune.
I adore people who randomly jump into conversations by commenting, those who start singing when a line in a conversation inspires them, movie quoters, loud unruly laughers, people that can lift one eyebrow, and those who write reminder notes on their hands. Or maybe these people just remind me of me and my crazy family—because actually, I adore everyone. I'm addicted to capturing the natural light that exists within all people. I'm tuned in to the inner soul of a person, rather than the external packaging, and you'll see that reflected in your final photos.
my photography style is organic, light and full of celebration.
More about Ceallaigh Smart: 
Professionally, Ceallaigh Anderson Smart was a nonprofit consultant in the summer of 2013 and was traveling to Rwanda for work. Personally, at that time, she was in the an abusive marriage and had recently developed PTSD. Travel, especially to Africa, had always been a passion and healing to her soul.

While in Rwanda she was able to travel to small towns and villages, schools, hospitals, churches, a prison, and engage with the rich and the poor, from politicians to the homeless. And one thing was true across the board. Everyone loved to have their picture taken. But of course it was the eagerness of the children that had the most impact on her. As soon as she took a picture, each child always wanted to look at the back of her digital camera to see themselves or their family and friends. She desperately wanted to be able to print one out and give it to them! Thinking to herself, "you should have this picture, not me." Thus Print the Love was born! So she vowed to be back to Rwanda ready to give away instant photographs!
