ARTELLAGRAM 3-28-2012:
"In the Studio"
An Interview with Amy Heil


(This interview is continued from the March 28, 2012 Artellagram… )



Artella: How has your ARTbundance™ training affected your work and/or life?

Amy: Divine timing is a recurring theme in Artella Land. I believe that the program found me at precisely the right time. Refocusing me in my work, the ARTbundance™ training led me to change careers. I am currently morphing from co-owner of a Coastal Boutique to Program Creator with organizations like the Martha’s Vineyard YMCA. High School mentoring & teen girl empowerment sessions, are replacing product trade shows & 70% off sales..

However, my biggest life change EVER occurred during my ACT classes. I got pregnant with my son Demyen during our sharing & practicing time. All of our creative energy flowing & artwork sharing put me in a wonderful space to welcome the little guy into our lives. Not an occupational hazard of the training, just a perk.

Artella: In your mind, how are creativity and spirituality related?

Amy: Utilizing your specific creative talent brings you closer to who you are meant to be. For me, spirituality is all about getting to the core of who you are, finding that unique talent, then offering that up.

Artella: How is prosperity related to creativity and spirituality?

Amy: It is in the offering up of our gifts, that we are meant to prosper. Part of defining who you are and what you have to offer, is determining who your audience is. Who can benefit most from your services, or products? I believe the money & prosperity will flow once we stop trying to figure it all out & just do what we do best, for those that we are called to help.

Artella: ARTbundance™ is based on nine ARTbundance™ Principles. Do you have a favorite Principle, or one that you really enjoy activating in other people? Which one, and why?

Amy: I love to work with people who have great ideas, but are struggling with focusing, clarifying and taking action. It’s exciting to see a client distill her vision and communicate it clearly. I’ve found that the ability to articulate what you’re about gives you energy, drive, and the ability to take action.

Artella: What does your future hold? What projects are you working on now?

Amy: Little Frying Pan is who I am. Born with the last name “Padalino”, Italian for little frying pan, I took it & ran. I’ve operated for years promoting others, & I am currently re-branding with my ARTbundance™ Certification. Little Frying Pan will take your ingredients, add some heat, and watch your projects Sizzle! Connecting with our YMCA will allow me to use the Principles to create a youth mentoring program. I’m also offering one-on-one coaching, and can’t wait to plan a retreat on Martha’s Vineyard…ideally for Artella & friends!
