| bio: |
After
her first inspiring trip to Italy in her forties, Serena
taught herself
to create art, earning her the right to insist that it’s
never too late to delve into what inspires us. Serena continues
to show and sell her work in galleries and online. Her business,
The Art of Your Life, provides creativity
and art workshops. Serena also teaches part time in the Women's
Studies Program at Portland State University.

| on
the importance of art: |
"My
favorite art is that which makes me glad to be alive.
We need art to remind us of the richness and mystery
of life and to evoke emotions that remind us of who
we are. Art keeps us from despair and brings us joy."
