34 Gallery Curator: Magdelene (M.)
"Home" ArtWork: "The Escape Artist"
"As a neurodivergent artist, the external world and its current chaos often do not resonate with the inner peace I achieve through creativity, meditation and martial arts. Along with Nature, The Arts helped me find a way out of my circumstances. I read books to expand my thinking, experiencing lives and careers I would not have considered. I learned to play the flute and piccolo alongside constantly exploring new music to tune out the chaos of childhood.
I became a writer to vent, then an artist to heal.
I am an escape artist from a past that could have ended me.
So I say again to others: your story does not define who you are. Nourish your inner light and have the courage to dream of a better life. That’s the first step to attaining one.
For 2025, my goal as Curator for The 34 Gallery is to provide a space for mental health conversations while celebrating life. It is no secret that the most creative, intuitive and kind-hearted people in our populations are also the most bullied, tormented and marginalized. Let's change this. Get creative.
Then Join Us. "

THE EARTH IS CHANGING. WE NEED TO CHANGE WITH IT.
Ethical consumerism, conscientious environmentalism, and collaborative humanitarianism are needed to shape this new century. We must consciously choose an optimistic future over an abyss of collective apathy.
- This is why, era after era, each Golden Age is led by artists.
We remind people of who they really are simply by being authentically ourselves. When you are "in the zone" doing what you love, only the present exists. The Arts & personal creative expression can also help keep your heart & spirit intact in any circumstance. In this way, Peace becomes a natural internal way of living.
