"Fabi-Babi"

Joan Fabian is an artist. She’s not an artist just because she paints or constructs sculptures, but because she’s passionate about everything she does. We are all artists whether we paint, sing, dance, take pictures, or just stand there and speak our minds. Joan is truly passionate about life and where she lives and what she’s doing. Joan taught in Pakistan for six months and saw a different way of art because people thought differently. She saw what they saw and learned to think differently to see things in another light. She told us a story of an old man and a child. Joan was driving through Pakistan when she thought she saw and old man sitting on the street with his grandson, or a young boy. She felt for them because she could tell just at a glance that they were tired and not very well off. As she drove by a second time she was looking for them so that she could really get a chance to see who they were because she felt such a connection with them just at a glance. As she looked for an elderly man and a young boy she noticed that it was not humans at all, but that it was two animals sitting on the side of the road that looked as if they had worked all day. By listening to all that Joan had to say, I completely felt more spiritually connected with who I was and my purpose. Joan Fabian isn’t just an artist, but a human full of artistic ability.
