Hello, world.

Welcome to discover your talent, do what you love.

I'm creator and host, Don Hutchison.

Every day I interview someone from around the world who has

discovered her talents to do work she loves to create a life of success, satisfaction, and

freedom. Today I'm delighted to bring you our featured guest, Jennifer Descentes. Jennifer, how are you

doing? I'm great. Nice to have you with us. Quick question. Are you using your talents and doing work that you love? You know, I believe at this point in my life, that's a yes. Good. I'm delighted to hear that too. Jennifer DeSantis is a 34-year-old self-taught mixed media collage artists currently residing in the beautiful town of Woodstock, Georgia.

She began her creative journey about five years ago.

It began as a form of self-therapy and still is to this day.

She keeps creating not only for her own fulfillment, but now in hopes that she can reach others by utilizing creative expression for inner healing.

That's a beautiful agenda, Jennifer.

This is all about you and your journey.

So we're just going to pass questions back and forth to share insight on your life that hopefully will help others out there in our listening audience.

When did you first realize that you had special talents and how did those take shape for you?

What were they?

You know, I've always loved to express myself through art ever since I can remember.

As a child, my grandparents bought me an easel, like a little plastic, you know, five-year-old, five-year-old and up easel.

And I would create for hours and hours and hours just totally losing myself and whatever I was drawing or painting.

My family had always encouraged me to pursue the arts, be it reading and writing, music, or visual arts.

And so they never held back their enthusiasm, and that meant so much, and it still means so

much to this day.

That support is invaluable, is it not?
