My most popular presentations, “Resilience: The Power of Resilience in Life & Art” and “Overcoming Adversity: My Journey from Brain Tumor to Fine Artist,” inspire schools, cultural events, advocacy groups, corporate settings, charity organizations, non-profits, social events, art galleries, and beyond. The list is endless—if your group needs inspiration, I’m just a click away! Each talk is tailored to educate and empower, fostering inclusivity and connection.

Charity organizations, non-profits, social events, schools, cultural days, advocacy groups, corporate events, training seminars, art galleries, and more.

 

Art Classes & Workshops:

As a classically trained portraiture artist, celebrated by the Federation of Canadian Artists, I ignite creativity and healing through transformative art therapy and classes.

 

Specializing in archival ink and graphite, I teach classic portraiture, human figures, and reductive techniques, delivered in ASL with English apps and my caregiver/interpreter for universal access.

 

Having inspired Educational Assistants, Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing students, Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo’s staff, and many more, my workshops transcend barriers, welcoming all ages at schools, non-profits, galleries, and beyond.

Testimonials:

"Went to a beautiful presentation with my friend, Kristi, hosted by HeartSpark. Got to hear from Lasha Barbosa and her husband, Chris, on The Power of Resilience in Life and Art. It was a beautiful presentation and she reminded me so much of myself and my struggles that I went through. How when we are faced with adversity we have to pivot. I especially like how they said surround yourself with inspirational people.

 

Truly beautiful and if you get a chance to hear her story I highly recommend you go!!

 

We don't break when life throws us in turmoil. We can cry, have bad days, but then we have to put on our big girl panties and tough it out. We are women, hear us roar!" - Koryn Dyer
