SUMMARY:Irene Kai - The Journey

She posed for George Segal in 1976 and the sculptures of her image were in the Whitney Museum permanent collection. Irene designed the logo for the Culture of Peace Initiative\, a United Nations Peace Messenger Organization\, and her inspiring image hangs in the United Nations building in New York City. She Co-founded the Ashland Culture of Peace Commission and brought the World Peace Flame to Ashland from Wales. \nlrene’s award-winning books – What Do You See? – an experiential book. The Golden Mountain: Beyond the American Dream has been chosen for course studies in major universities\, an autobiography of four generations of women in her family\, a journey spanning over a hundred years of how their influences shaped her life. The healing process of writing this book sets the women free. By having the courage to speak out about family secrets\, Irene expresses her process of finding the light within through her paintings and her devotion to truth. To live in peace is to reconnect with our souls\, speaking from our hearts. To find the courage to transcend culture\, and to live authentically\, but most of all\, to love deeply. \n  \n  \n
