295. The ShowOff Project - with Shawna Barnes, Confidence Coach

Shawna has found a great therapy in clay upon her discharge from the military. Her love of making functional pottery (coffee mugs and bowls) transitioned into an immense passion for sculpting. With her hands in clay bringing her imagination to life in 3D, nothing else matters; not the pain, the emotional turmoil, the frustration… none of it. It all goes away, and she is at peace. Her current project is a series of sculptures that center around jobs animals had during various historical conflicts – “Animals of War”.  You can see the different sculptures she’s made in this series by visiting the PORTFOLIO. Once Shawna realized just HOW therapeutic and Cathartic the Simple Act of Creating Can Be, she has made sharing this revelation a large part of her artistic practice.  She donates her time and leads/teaches and art tile class at the Travis Mills Foundation – a place for severely wounded Veterans and their families to enjoy a week of pampering without having to worry about accessibility.  When the opportunity presents itself, Shawna explains the benefits of how much just the simple act of creating can help ANYONE overcome and cope with adversity in their own lives.   In summer of 2017, she finally received a working diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis – a neuromuscular autoimmune disease. There is no cure, but lifestyle changes and treatments can provide a livable life. In addition to MG, she also has to work around/through a seizure disorder, cervical dystonia, peripheral neuropathy, a hypermobility disorder, degenerative disc disease, “brain fog”, and PTSD. She continues to strive and push forward every day, always looking for that silver lining and the upside to any/every situation. The eternal optimist – that’s Shawna!

Ep. 56 - Shawna Barnes Former Combat Medic FindsHerself Getting Lost in Art

Unable to hold employment or successfully retrain/go back to school; I dove head first into the art of pottery. I have found a great therapy in ceramics upon my discharge from the military. My love of the arts has only helped to propel me forward, allowing me to excel in this artistic medium. I have been transitioning into more sculptural work and am truly loving the new direction! I am a retired (yes, at 32), disabled Iraqi war veteran. I served for nearly 4 years in the US Army as a combat medic. Right around my seventh month in Iraq, my health took a drastic turn; I began having seizures. It has been a downhill slide ever since with more health issues arising as time continues. While the doctors have not yet been able to nail down a diagnosis, I continue to strive and to push forward everyday with the love and support from family. No matter the situation encountered, I choose to always look for the silver linings, focusing on the negatives serves no purpose. I am also the founder of a non-profit organization called Healing Arts of Maine. The therapeutic effects that I found in clay has led me to be quite passionate about being able to bring this simple method of healing to the greatest audience possible. I hope you take the time to follow the link and check out Healing Arts of Maine, and if so inclined to make a tax deductible donation through our financial sponsor, Fractured Atlas.
