Colleen Darby has always been an artist but at a young age she was told that she “needed to earn a living” and so her artistic talent and dreams were put on the back shelf. But strong dreams often have a way of staying around and years later, when her Marketing Director position was rocked by a significant pay cut, she had dinner with her husband and spoke that dream out loud again. Not long later she was an Artist in Residence at a hospital, a next chapter in a long and richly rewarding creative story that still continues today. In 2013 at 50, when her child left for college, and with a personal experience of living through cancer, a painting sabbatical and a new project beckoned… and she responded. Colleen remembered a time when she was an Artist in Residence when a stray comment “such a beautiful day outside” was met with a sad “I wouldn’t know, it always looks the same from here” from the patient. This memory fuelled her passion project - LandEscapes Painting Series - A View for a Room: Transforming Healthcare Spaces.  A powerful, transformative journey has been the result, a journey that also involved a cancer diagnosis that ultimately deepened her commitment to her project, changing Colleen, her business, the healthcare industry and the lives of a great many patients and their families her come into daily contact with her art. If you are enjoying this show, please take a moment to review the Next Chapter Podcast in iTunes - your feedback is hugely appreciated and very helpful. If you have not left an iTunes review before and are not quite sure how to, I've created a page on my website that takes you through the very easy steps- you can view that page here.  Thank you so much!

46 with Colleen Darby: Artists as Entrepreneurs 

Colleen Darby was hitting a huge milestone in her life, and decided it was time to follow a dream.  Her passion was art, and her heart led her to want to paint landscape images for children's Oncology patients.   With no funds to start this project, Colleen turned to Kickstarter and began putting together her campaign.  She didn't just hit her number, she doubled it, and stopped by to give us the tips that made her campaign so successful.
