Ted Meyer is a nationally recognized artist, curator and patient advocate who helps patients, students and medical professionals see the positive in the worst life can offer. Ted’s 18-year project “Scarred for Life: Mono-prints of Human Scars” chronicles the trauma and courage of people who have lived through accidents and health crises. Ted seeks to improve patient/physician communications and speaks about living as an artist with illness. Telling stories about his own art and the stories behind his scar art collection, he offers insight into living with pain, illness, and disfigurement. Ted has been featured on NPR and in the New York Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, and USA Today. His work has been displayed internationally in museums, hospitals, and galleries. As the current Artist in Residence at USC Keck School of Medicine, Ted curates exhibitions of artwork by patients whose subject matter coincides with medical school curriculum. Ted has curated shows by artists challenged by MS, cancer, germ phobias, back pain, and other diseases. In addition, he is a Visiting Scholar at the National Museum of Health and Medicine, invited to take part in the Aspen Seminars, was recently names The 2017 Sterling Visiting Professorship at Stanford University, and has been a TEDMED mainstage speaker. Ted’s rare niche mixes art, medicine, and stories of healing and survival, drawing from his experience as a lifelong patient of Gaucher Disease (an enzyme deficiency that affects bones and joints). Ted spent much of his childhood in severe pain. His work is influenced by his many hospital stays where he began mixing art and medical supplies. (How can you make something out of I.V. tubes, bandages and pipe cleaners?) Contorted, graphic skeletal images appear in his early paintings reflecting his belief that he would not reach his 30th birthday. He now considers himself normal and healthy; outliving friends, family, and early expectations. New drug treatments and joint replacements have improved Ted’s life and this in turn has changed his artistic direction, shifting from “Ted-centric” images to those that highlight other people’s health problems. His “Scarred for Life” series chronicles events that suddenly changed people’s lives. During an expansive narrated visual presentation, audiences come to understand how a lifetime of chronic illness impacts an artist’s work. Ted turns devastating illnesses into a source of artistic expression, giving voice to people around the world living with rare diseases and disfigurement. Ted’s painting have been shown around the world, from Europe, to Asia, and throughout the United States. With subject matter ranging from introspective, to down right humorous, his narrative always looks at human interactions.

Hi, my name is Suzette Vearnon and my message is simple: You are enough!! I am an Author, Speaker and Coach who specializes in life and relationships. My journey to enoughness has not been easy. In fact, statistics placed me in the least likely to find love and least likely to keep love even if I found it. I was over 40, a woman of color, twice divorced and was drawn to unavailable men like a moth to a flame. Yet, on my 55th birthday, I married the most wonderful man. Despite being successful in finding my Mr. Right and coaching others to tap into their own enoughness to have love and to achieve their dreams, I still felt like something was missing. I couldn't put my finger on it until July 2019 when one of my businesses took a hit. I had outgrown it but I was still holding on. It was the one that generated the most income. Just the same, it was the one I was least passionate about. It wasn't until the downturn that I realized that Life was calling me to a bigger stage, to make a greater impact in the world. So, three months later, I answered the call. On November 17, 2019, I headlined my solo event appropriately titled I AM ENOUGH "LIVE" at the majestic Clayton Center Auditorium. This seminal event awakened me to a greater mission and purpose. My mission is to connect with men and women who believe there is more to their lives than just living for the weekend and dreading Mondays. My purpose is to help them awaken to their enoughness and to access their soul's joy: to co-create lives they don't have to take a vacation from, relationships they don't have to lose themselves for and work they don't have to endure for the paycheck.
