Adie McDermott is an award winning mixed media artist, transformative art tutor and coach, and a single mother to an amazingly unique and beautiful neurodivergent, transgender teen. Living an extraordinary unconventional life, fuelled by her passion for creativity and self-expression, her belief that different is beautiful and the most beautiful thing you can be is yourself, Adie guides artists of all abilities, people completely new to creativity through to artists who know they want to become entrepreneurs, to release their creativity, recognise and value their own unique beauty, strengths and skills, and live their most fulfilled, joyful and successful lives. A talented life-long creative, successful and sought after graphic designer, retail store and clothing designer to many big name businesses/brands in Australia, Adie is now CEO at Adie McDermott where she creates and sells her art around the world, runs community art classes and workshops online and around Australia, and coaches creatives worldwide to become financially independent using their unique talents, strengths and life experiences. Self-expression didn’t come naturally for Adie, when she decided to transition from designer to artist. She learnt very quickly that stuckness in life is reflected in the creative process and that it is not easy to create freely in your own way, using your own voice when everything you have learnt, all your old patterns/beliefs etc say it is not safe to be vulnerable, to be seen, or be yourself...whoever the heck that may be! A co-dependent and chronic people pleaser, a person with VERY low self-worth and self-hatred, daily debilitating pain, extreme anxiety and deep feelings of loneliness, even when surrounded by people, Adie found healing, happiness, self-acceptance, self-expression and self-worth using her creative art practice and is now able to share herself and her art with the whole world. The connection between creativity, the act of making something completely new, and our sense of self, how we see and treat ourselves, combined with her 20+ years studying human behaviour, human connection, neuroscience, philosophy and holistic healing techniques from around the world have now become the essence of the creative healing course WHOLE which she teaches online around the world.

Hello, This is Dr. Zerri Gross also known as Dr. Z. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Therapist Whole Life and Time Management Facilitator, Veteran, and Yoga Instructor that has a passion for helping people unlearn their limiting beliefs about money.

I was once like many of you, growing up hearing phrases like "money is the root of all evil" and "money can't buy happiness." It wasn't until I began to challenge these beliefs that I was able to create a healthy and positive relationship with money.

Inspired by my own journey, I wrote the book "Money is Not Evil" to help others overcome their own limiting beliefs and create a positive relationship with money. I understand that it can be challenging to talk about money and that it's often considered taboo, but I believe that money is a tool that can be used to achieve our dreams and help others.

Through my own experiences and extensive education, I have learned how to create a healthy and positive relationship with money, and I am passionate about helping others do the same.

With a background in therapy and a passion for helping people achieve their goals, I am committed to helping my clients overcome their limiting beliefs, develop positive habits, and achieve financial freedom. I understand that money is not the end goal, but rather a tool that can help us create the lives we want to live.

My name is Veronica M. Esqueda and I am a prophetic mixed media artist. I help those who are in search of meaning in their lives (or perhaps just a little color), to bridge Heaven and Earth by bringing the far things near, so gifts of beauty and light embolden them to embrace the hope and joy that is their legacy.

I was born in France and French was my first language. We moved to the USA before I could walk or talk - giving me a deep appreciation for “me” and “we” at all times.

You’re invited to grow with me. My Life’s Creative Expression: We Me Planet and We Me People. https://linktr.ee/wemeaction Over the last two decades I have explored many nonviolent, compassion-contemplative and life performance practices not only to become a better version of my Self, but to also be of my utmost service to People and Planet. Today, I am a happier and healthier version of my Self when I create practices and environments that bring out the creative Artist in my heart and mind.

Professionally, I have always worked with some form of communications, public relations/media relations, corporate sponsorship, community engagement or fundraising roles. From five-star hotels, VIP credentials, press conferences and private security guards to prisons to clambakes to Save a River… “it” has been an epic journey so far, and only getting more creative and enjoyable!

At my core and at my whisper of my Self, I am an Artist – and profoundly believe that we all are Artists! Creativity is our human super power! I have never really led or been paid for offering traditional works of art (painting, photography, singing, dancing, writing, acting, sculpturing, etc). I love to dance – anyone who knows me knows this to be true! With dance, I have found a more powerful and personal “happening”. When I dance or move to music without words or lyrics and, ideally with a song that I have never heard before it really brings me into the moment and my body fully! This “newness” allows for whatever emotion or speed or lightness of movement to arise as the notes and melody dance with me in the moment. This allowing and experiencing the unknown, unchoreographed and improvised stays with me as I get older more deeply and lastingly – “dancing with me” as I bring together different words written by different authors and sources in order to create an alchemy of “words dancing together” because if they (the words) were human, I believe they would want to “dance together” – or at least try to – with some “words” leading some days, other sources another, in lock-step chorus line, two-stepping, swaying, waltzing, tangoing, breaking, salsa-ing and of course, improvising!

Hello, This is Dr. Zerri Gross also known as Dr. Z. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Therapist Whole Life and Time Management Facilitator, Veteran, and Yoga Instructor that has a passion for helping people unlearn their limiting beliefs about money.

I was once like many of you, growing up hearing phrases like "money is the root of all evil" and "money can't buy happiness." It wasn't until I began to challenge these beliefs that I was able to create a healthy and positive relationship with money.

Inspired by my own journey, I wrote the book "Money is Not Evil" to help others overcome their own limiting beliefs and create a positive relationship with money. I understand that it can be challenging to talk about money and that it's often considered taboo, but I believe that money is a tool that can be used to achieve our dreams and help others.

Through my own experiences and extensive education, I have learned how to create a healthy and positive relationship with money, and I am passionate about helping others do the same.

With a background in therapy and a passion for helping people achieve their goals, I am committed to helping my clients overcome their limiting beliefs, develop positive habits, and achieve financial freedom. I understand that money is not the end goal, but rather a tool that can help us create the lives we want to live.

I’ve only ever known chaos. The trauma and shame that generational alcoholism, domestic abuse and violence creates is insidious - if left unchecked, it will seep into everything you do and become everything you are, but you have a choice, you always have a choice. You can let your tragedies define and control you or you can learn and grow from them, and that will catapult you out of the darkness and into the light.

I am an artist. I AM AN ARTIST. It took me a long time to introduce myself like that. I felt because I am completely self-taught, have no degrees after my name or any formal training that how dare I have the audacity to call myself an artist…but I am. I’ve always known it. Ever since I can remember having independent thought, I knew I had a different way of viewing the world and I tried to express myself in as many ways as I could. I’m a bit of a rebel and don’t heed what others tell me. I never believed in limiting myself. Creativity is infinite, why would I handcuff myself to only one skill or concept? Perhaps it stems back to the need to keep busy and find something to delve into to take my mind off the horrendous stuff. I could drift into a world of my own and close out the chaos swirling about me.

Fast forward to today and I am a painter, a mixed media artist, photographer, metal/silversmith and jewelry designer, a fabric and textile artist, I make soaps, salves and healing oils and tinctures and I am a reclaimer of old furniture and found objects, just to name a few.

It may seem fractured and complicated to outsiders, but it works for me. It seems every year I think I’ve figured out what I love to do the most, but then I find something new about a process or stumble across a happy accident and it sends me off onto another journey

Tamara Mulkey is an award winning mixed media artist and a married, mother of one, based in Utah, U.S.A. She has always had a fondness for art and with this, earned an Associate’s Degree in Graphic Design. After earning her degree, she instead, found herself in the glamourous world of retail, followed by marriage and motherhood. After a long, struggle in the darkness of depression, she decided to invest in herself and her art again. In 2018, she gifted herself a year-long online art course and a new adventure began. This is where she found her love of mixed media. Unlike what she had been taught in school, it broke rules that she had been taught and solved issues that might be encountered as she created and allowed her to explore her imagination. Currently, she is an intuative, commission artist specializing in mixed media portraits of both people (both memorial and living) and animals. Earlier this year, she was asked to become a resident artist in a popular online gallery. Since starting her art making again, she has gained several collectors as well.
