"My deepest belief is that artists reach into the divinity of the unknown and bring to earth stories, music, dreams that many can not see.
Those artists reach the inner-sanctum known as Elysium and bring to earth the creative connection to help others transcend suffering and ultimately heal the world.”
Jennifer Howell’s journey into art and philanthropy began with a deep-rooted passion for creativity and a profound belief in the healing power of artistic expression.

By starting The Art of Elysium, a bare to the bones, no fat well run, organization - she has been able to effect real change.”
