Hello beautiful ones! I’m Kerri King, creator of the brand new Creative Vision Quest program, CEO of Station Gallery and co-founder of the Durham Women’s Network. When I’m not brainstorming my next big idea, you’ll find me practicing yoga, reading a good book, finding local trails to hike, travelling to new places and spending time with my two teenage boys.My passion for arts and culture has brought me to this point in my life after leading a fulfilling and experience-filled career in public relations and economic and cultural development. I thrive on helping others reach their artistic and innovative potential—a gift I was born with. As a keen listener and a catalyst of ideas, I have worked with many friends such as yourself to build and execute their own powerful, creative visions. Learn more about me at kerriking.ca.
I recently had a chance to catch up with Georgia Fullerton for Episode 3 of my podcast. Georgia is a practising visual artist, an expressive arts therapist, arts educator and public speaker.
Together we explore our deeply personal connection to art, art therapy, and how expressive arts therapy can be used as a tool for mental health support and how tapping into your own "Art Story" can help to re-frame our lives.
We talk about learning to feel "comfortable in discomfort" and how open expression of oneself leads to personal freedom.
I hope you enjoy this week's episode!

Patty Bowman-Kingsley is one of my dearest friends on the planet, with impeccable moral fortitude, a heart that shines so bright it’s blinding, more talent in her baby finger than I have in my entire body.
Patty is a visual artist, a community builder and one of my fav collaborators.
We recorded this session after a major event at the gallery where I work. Patty graciously donated her time to paint for our community "en pleine aire."
In this second episode of my personal podcast, I ask Patty one of my favorite questions:
WHAT IS FREEDOM?
Have a listen and hear what Patty has to say.....ENJOY!
