Hosted by Maria-Katharina Richters, Born to Create takes listeners on an adventure into the colourful minds of 100 creatives. Having experienced the transformative power of creativity herself, Maria began BTC to dive deeper into the experiences of fellow artists, urging them to share their experiences, the connections they've drawn between art and life, and how divine inspiration can heal our world. BTC is here to encourage artists of all kinds to honor their journeys, own their originality & remind skeptical creatives that they have magic in their veins and that they, too, were born to create

43 Artist Interview - Valentine Svihalek - Trusting our Core and tapping into that gift of Looking Within

Valentine Svihalek is a Belgian and American abstract painter, international educator, podcast host, author, and mother of two. Passionate about education, connecting people and opportunities, Valentine founded the Art Connect Women's Collective and the Art Connect Society.

After the birth of her first child in a Czech village surrounded by people who spoke a different language, she felt isolated. Supported by the Artist Residency In Motherhood Program, she developed a process of artmaking that liberates expressive energy and establishes connection. Graduate studies in philosophy and postgraduate studies in teaching, literacy, and culture in San Diego and mentorship with Multimedia Artist, Isadora Stowe provided the foundation for her work. Passionate about education and connecting people with opportunities, Valentine founded the Art Connect Women’s Collective (formerly Art Mums Europe) and the Art Connect Society. Inspired by her community work, she published Mama Meditations: The Imperfect Artist Mother Journey, Mindful Mantras, and The Bright Side: Affirmations For Overcoming as reflections on postpartum experience. She founded the Bella Valentina Artist Residency Program. Valentine has exhibited her abstract paintings and poetry in galleries in Europe, with the Jewish Museum Prague, Canadian BHA Gallery, curated solo and group exhibits. She’s been published in The Huts and Women United international art magazines. In 2022, she published Painting Our World, US: An Artist Diary, and was longlisted for the Women United Art Prize.
