I had the privilege of meeting Liselle Powder at a “Healing Art Together” event during Women’s History Month. As both an exhibiting artist and spoken word performer, she captivated the audience with her moving presentation on self-love. Liselle is truly an artist extraordinaire \u2013 a serene soul whose powerful spirit touches everyone she meets. Through her masterful blend of visual art and spoken word, she has crafted a unique path to healing.<\/p>\n

Liselle shares her transformative journey of finding peace and purpose through canvas and verse.<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

HOW ART HAS HELPED IN ME IN MY HEALING PROCESS:<\/b><\/h2>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
When the word was ministered to me in 2019 to get up and paint, it was no turning back.<\/div>\n
In the beginning I didn’t know nothing about art, but there was something that connected me.<\/div>\n
Every stroke of the brush, the paint, the colors, brought peace to my mind. As a single parent,<\/div>\n
painting of these art pieces was my sanctuary. I was transformed. I never did a course<\/div>\n
in art, Everything came from my mind, it was my world that I lived in, the worries, stress, and<\/div>\n
everything else was slowly drifting away. The more I painted and got better I was entwined with<\/div>\n
the art world. My health got better as my high blood pressure was not high, my thinking was coming<\/div>\n
back and I began to love myself all over again. It was freedom, it was my get away and I didn’t<\/div>\n
look back. The bright colors used in my work inspired the rays of the sun to bring joy, peace and<\/div>\n
reflection. I am free, and I am thankful for the connection with human hands, hands that worked and<\/div>\n
created masterpieces that opened my soul to live again.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n

WHAT INSPIRED ME TO START CREATING<\/b><\/h2>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
Creativity started in my mind. It was a passion that started from deep within. I watched videos after videos<\/div>\n
and I knew what I had to do. I am a believer but that encounter I had in 2019, while lying on the couch, pushed<\/div>\n
me to pursue art, just hearing a voice saying get up and paint was all I needed to run with the vision and passion.<\/div>\n
I had nothing, no paints, no canvas, no stand. I shared my encounter with a friend of mine, she said “What do you need?”<\/div>\n
I told her I need everything. My friend went on Amazon and brought me everything, from paints, canvas, stand and paintbrushes.<\/div>\n
Then everything was shipped to my address. That was the beginning of my art journey.<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/h2>\n

HOW ART IMPACTED MY LIFE<\/b><\/h2>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
Art has impacted my life in so many ways, because I was able to connect with other artists and have displays<\/div>\n
as a vendor at different events, where some of my artwork was sold. My artwork was presented in three different Calls<\/div>\n
East Islip Art Council, Westchester Community College and Lisa Di Amico Art Council between March and April of 2023.<\/div>\n
My artwork was also accepted at the Hempstead National Museum of March 2024. I am looking forward to creating more<\/div>\n
artwork pieces and entering more calls. My colors, sense of styles, techniques, and vision has increased in so many ways.<\/div>\n
Now my friends are on the lookout for my work, they ask “When is the next art piece?” They want to know when is my<\/div>\n
next show, so I have to keep them posted<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n

MY MESSAGE OF HOPE<\/b><\/h2>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
My message to others is never give up, pursue your dreams, plan and keep focus.<\/div>\n
Always see the beauty in yourself inside out, never leave something for later that<\/div>\n
can be finished now. There will be obstacles, trials and things to stop your progress,<\/div>\n
but don’t stop, just be determined to run the race and finish, never give up.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
