In this interview with Tonia Jenny from 21 Secrets Face Time, I share how my form of artistic expression has taken different outlets over the years, and also the ways I look forward to my path continuing to unfold.

I was delighted to be a guest on the University of British Columbia’s Learning Circle. I share teachings from my Squamish culture on how everything can be medicine, how making art has many medicines to share, and how we can meet the medicine half way. In this interview, I facilitate an art activity where we create a Mind, Body, Spirit collage on cardboard.

I was thrilled to spend half an hour talking with Galia Alena about the joy of creating and the practice of kindness in our creative process. I also share why I create art, my journey in becoming an artist, what is inspiring me, what my creative practice looks like, how I keep it fresh, and how it has evolved and more.
