About:
Keisha (Kay) Sealey, author of Color Your Eden, a coloring book filled with mindful, positive affirmations for both adults and children? Keisha can highlight important attributes to coloring and how coloring isn’t just an outlet for children as so many people have used Color Your Eden to help themselves, regardless of age.
Today, our daily lives are filled with fearful stimuli that cause stress, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, ADHD and other mental health disorders among both children and adults. ‘Color Your Eden’, is a safe place to retreat and enjoy beautiful art that’s filled with positive messages. Why just ‘Count Your Blessings’, when you can ‘Paint it’? While adult print book sales hit a home run in 2015, since then, adult coloring book sales have seen a steady rise growing 2%+ year over year.
It’s been proven time and time again that coloring helps to relax your brain. When attention flows freely, away from negativity or the everlasting, ongoing to-do list that all adults carry with them on a daily basis, we allow ourselves to be open to new thoughts and creative thinking. When coloring and allowing oneself to take a break from the chaos of life, we concede to new aspects that won’t hit us if we’re too busy. Stillness allows for great ideas to come to us, which can help motivate us in work, school, and in life. Coloring for 20 minutes or more is an effective way to lower your heart rate and decrease feelings of anxiety. In the studies, coloring more intricate designs like mandalas was more effective than coloring in a plaid pattern or blank page.
Keisha received her Associate in Advertising and Graphic Design from Columbus College of Art & Design, and then went on to also receive her Bachelor of Science in Advertising and Marketing from the Fashion Institute of Technology. She has helped many along their personal art journey. Keisha can provide expert insight into:
- Her story of why she decided to create a coloring book for everyone, and her personal journey how she and her husband started to launch the book.
- How, through coloring and painting, one can experience a peaceful-joy, filled with positive-relaxing feelings while reconnecting directly with your thoughts.
- The grieving process we all go through in life, and how art and coloring are valued coping mechanisms for dealing with loss.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
