In September 2015, I went to an event in Portugal called Trojan Horse was a Unicorn.  This incredible event at a resort in Troia will remain one of the most memorable trips of my lifetime. "Trojan Horse was a Unicorn is a unique four-day Digital Art Rave.  The 3rd installment happened in Portugal from 15 to 19 September 2015. A prestige event for Producers, Animators, Game Developers, Concept Artists, All Around 3D generalists, VFX people and all manner of CG professionals and just the curious folk out there."
I went to THU to be a mentor and share my knowledge about art and working in VFX.  I gave a talk titled "Living With Creativity", preparing for the talk gave me so many insights into my own art practice.  
I gained so much more than I gave. I met so many wonderful people; both seasoned Art professionals and enthusiastic and talented students.

Every day the schedule was packed with talks from artists at the top of their game, talk show style interviews and hilarious and insightful fireside chats in the evening followed by live Art Battles.
Through amazing foresight and planning, all of this was captured by incredible teams and live streamed as THU TV. All of the knowledge, inspiration, career advice, technical tips, lessons learned and shared by seasoned artists are available from THU TV on Vimeo.  98 videos including my talk, "Living with Creativity" are available as a subscription.  

The event was held at the Troia Design Hotel, a dreamy location for a transcendent event. 
In addition to participating in THU events, giving talks and being interviewed for a podcast by Christopher Nichols of Chaos Group and Ian Failes of FX Guide, my husband Kevin Mack and I shared his virtual reality art demo Shape Space VR.  We made many life long friends.  I feel I gained so much more than I gave. My creative spirit is rejoicing with abundant energy and feeling synergy with the THU Tribe that resonates to my core.  Thank You THU!
