We were lucky to catch up with VIBES Lifestyle recently and have shared our conversation below.
VIBES, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?
My partner and I are an Artist Duo, so we embark on our creative endeavors collectively as a team. All of our art is inspired by life, nature, experiences and one another. We continue to collaborate on a beautiful collection together that we titled “Poetic Porcelain”, because I have been writing poetry since I was 12 years old and each sculpture that we craft inspires a poem that accompanies the piece.
Life has been a journey of many perils, and writing has been an excellent emotional outlet for me. Being able to pair this talent with my other artistic talents truly allows me to feel the full gamut of emotional and creative expression, and to bring our audience along with us on that journey as well.
VIBES, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

In your view, what can society to do to best support artists, creatives and a thriving creative ecosystem?
What would the world be without art? I think this is a very important question that we should all ask ourselves. Many people take art for granted, and may not even notice how it enhances just about every space we enter. Art is there when you walk down the street, when you enter a restaurant or hotel. From the murals on the sides of buildings to a framed photograph, it surrounds us all the time. In order to be certain that art will continue to be a part of our future, artists must be continuously supported. I feel that we need to discontinue the narrative of people needing to “get a real job”, because without artists doing what they do, there would be no art.
Artists require a plethora of creative space and time. It is imperative to not fill the day with busy work, as a creative. There needs to be opportunities for stillness and for experiences to occur. These are the things that shape and mold the mind and imagination of creatives. By supporting artists in any way, whether it’s sharing their art with others on social media, leaving a kind comment on their work, or making a purchase, all of these methods are of great value and much appreciated.
: Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
“Be The Change, Live The Dream”, that is our motto. To always seek ways to inspire positive change, and leading by example. This in turn leads to “Living The Dream”, because doing things we love and enjoy is the key to the ultimate lifestyle. We are all seeking joy and happiness in one form or another, and having the fulfillment of knowing we had a positive impact on this world in even a small way truly means a lot!
