https://Art2Life.com - There is one attribute all thriving creatives I meet have in common. It has everything to do with their "come from", a term I learned from my work with human development coach Scott Picard. It highlights where one’s art and inspiration are derived. In artists who have established tremendous momentum, I see they are all creating for themselves first which leads to their art being highly personal, and as a result, known, collected and celebrated in the culture.

My guest today is Bonnie Christine. A highly successful surface designer and artist. She is a perfect example of someone who has totally nailed her "come from" early in her development. Bonnie’s art, life, and business are all elegantly tied together with the most beautiful thread of creativity.

I believe this conversation will be helpful for anyone interested in making a more vibrant, creativity-centered life. So join me now, as Bonnie and I dive not only into the world of surface design but life design.
