Kenya’s artistic eye can be experienced even while listening to her explain what she sees when looking at a photo, painting, or just the sky. She takes what I might consider to be plain, then colorfully transform it into a true masterpiece. She introduces others to an alternate way to view life with change, openness, and unbiased eyes.
