Hello everyone! My name is Jo, and I’m a RI-based artist, life coach, and yoga teacher who believes that creativity holds limitless potential to awaken hearts and open minds.
In my work with others and in my own life, I've seen seen how creativity helps people access their inner spark, as well deepen their sense of connection to themselves, to one another, and their place in the Universe.

What this project is
Global Art Mosaic leverages the power of art to ignite creativity, foster a sense of connection, and process what's going on in the world through visual expression. Participants of all ages are invited to contribute their individual voices around the theme of Transformation to co-create a "mosaic" of thought and perspective that will be donated to a community center at a later point in time. Who this project is for Global Art Mosaic is open to all ages and creative backgrounds; NO artistic background required. This is an excellent at-home activity for parents and their children, schoolteachers, and anyone else seeking to feel more connected to their creativity and to one another during times of isolation. What it looks like For our first Global Art Mosaic, you'll invited to share your unique perspective on the theme of TRANSFORMATION.
Together, we'll ignite our creativity and co-create a singular “hive” of thought and feeling that encapsulates how we are collectively processing this profoundly powerful moment in time.
