FRIDAY EVENING FEATURED SPEAKER
Lisa Gidlow Moriarty

Endless Circles of Inspiration
Imagine standing at the center of a labyrinth and looking back over the journey that brought you there. Consider how this mirrors your life journey, the transitions, challenges and inspiration that may have occurred at each unexpected turn and how each was a necessary step in reaching the goal. We will learn about the Lisa's journey from childhood to professional, including some fascinating synchronicities, explore our own connections, and be enchanted by awe-inspiring creativity. Be inspired by over 25 years of labyrinth designs, installation and unique applications, from Australia to Africa, including schools for children on the autism spectrum, stroke rehabilitation, art centers, cathedrals and more.

Lisa Gidlow Moriarty holds a BA degree in Fine Arts, Design and began making large commercial art installations in 1978.
