I Am Creative with Hollis Citron
These conversations are to be a safe space to create connection, share stories, foster self expression and feel empowered! Creativity goes beyond the pencil and the brush. Creativity is your unique and original exploration, expansion, expression of your imagination. Even if you are not “an artist”, you are creative. You are creative because you are the only person that can add your gifts to the things that you create. You are creative because only you can express your ideas and greatness with the world.

Sunday Mar 14, 2021
Sunday Mar 14, 2021
Audrey Appleby works in various modalities that all tie together with the common thread being CONNECTION.
Audrey really comes from such a strong heart space to lift others up and bring such awareness to the general public to educate and spread the love.
When Audrey gets an idea she takes action and doesn't just do it small she takes it big. During the conversation we were talking about adversity and what might seem difficult and this quote she said stands out, " Find the tiny opening and make it bigger".
Just find the opening and the possibilities will flow.
Audrey Appleby Builds Bridges of Possibility and Magic to inspire you to find your passion. In everything she creates, from music to dance to art, she stirs people from 1 to 100 years of age, with positivity to survive and flourish in good and bad times. For Audrey, creativity happens whenever there is a need inside herself or coming from others who reach out to her. One of the most powerful times she creates is when a door opens due to cataclysmic events bringing change.
Audrey has performed her original songs in New York, Los Angeles, and Paris, has made a film shown at Film Festivals in Paris and Greenwich and New Haven, Ct, about her music and dance work evoking memory and emotion with Alzheimers patients, and has The MagicDance Dance School in Greenwich, Ct .

Creative Conversations Talks About Reimagining Disability As Being Powerful
Saturday Mar 06, 2021
Saturday Mar 06, 2021
The work that Laura is putting out into the world is sooooo important! She is helping to take back the term disability and promote embracing who we are and in the process creating beauty and personality.
She says that we crave connection as humans, totally agree with that, and that how we dress ourselves and use adaptive devices are one way of showing our personalities and creating conversation.
Ms. Brody works as a professional costume maker and designer, an artist, and as a teacher. She is passionate about reuse, sustainability, and re-imagining disability.
Laura Brody sculpts for the human body and its vehicles. She developed and curates Opulent Mobility, a series of exhibits that re-imagine disability as opulent and powerful.
Her art has been shown at ACE/121 Gallery, Brea Gallery, the Charles River Museum of Industry, Westbeth Center For the Arts, California State University Northridge, Gallery Expo, the Dora Stern Gallery at Arts Unbound, and The World of Wearable Art.
