       am an award winning artist, author, activist and a creative mindfulness mentor dedicated to raising awareness of creativity as a positive catalyst for health and well-being. I specialize in interactive presentations, providing creative tools and strategies to foster self-worth,
self-love, healing, and social change.  As a transformation leader for over 35 years, I have helped individuals and teams discover their passion, purpose and authentic power to become confident and effective change leaders and creative problem solvers.  As a community activist I passionately focusmy lens on improving the lives of women and children whether designing art work for Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky’s “ask” gun safety campaign or sharing my personal art work and story of healing from childhood sexual abuse.  I believe when we share our stories of resilience, people know they are not alone and it creates a positive ripple of hope.  In 2016 I received a Woman of Distinction Award and was nominated for a Beauty In Beauty Out Award. I am the author of four books, including Art From My Heart a self-discovery journal, Stuck to Unstoppable Journal, The Creative Edge: 30 days of Creativity Prompts  and the Benjamin Franklin award winning inspirational book, The Creative Activist: Make the World Better, One Person, One Action at a Time.  I have a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts degree from Roosevelt University and a Master’s degree in Urban Planning.

"From the moment I saw her table I was interested in what she had to talk about. I loved the appreciation cards she had on her table. After hearing

her speak and having lunch with her and a small group of childcare

owners and directors I knew I wanted to talk to her personally at her

table and look at her book. Rae has so many ideas not only for my

children and family but also for my business.

She had ideas for staff motivation, parents/clients and children

in the classroom. Her book Art From My Heart I could use for

my own children ( ages 6,8 and 11) as well as my staff at my center.

Rae is a wonderful person to talk with and such an inspiration

I cannot wait to do the activities in her book."
