ACC NEWS features Expressive Arts Base Life Coach Deb Ogburn

Louisville, KY – At some point in life, we all feel a calling, or develop an idea or vision for ourselves and our purpose. The ride isn’t always smooth and rarely ever challenge free, and along the way many people lose sight of all they’re searching for. Without a plan, it’s difficult to move forward. Deb Ogburn, Expressive Life Coach and founder of A Time For Art, is here to help you create or restore that vision and choreograph the steps to get you (back) into the dance.

“A Time For Art is about change, and helping people create that change,“ her website reads. Deb has shown clients from all walks of life, extraordinary results in a safe, non-judgemental and highly creative environment. For Deb’s own part, she saw first-hand the trials and tribulations life can throw our way. Initially a graphic designer and principal of her own firm in Chicago, a mid-career burnout in the early ‘90s left her financially, emotionally and physically exhausted. Following the sun, she moved to San Diego and took a nine-to-five job in the hospitality industry.

Fast forward: then she came across some negatives from a series of photos she’d shot years ago. “My negative images gave me hope. As I printed frames from my life my entire narrative changed. I saw light in the shadows. Figures of friends and family took on a luminous quality in reverse, with glowing eyes, dark smiles and auras where they had once cast shadows. I saw them all as spiritual beings—myself included. I made a portfolio with the images and I looked at them tirelessly. They lit me up. I felt creative and vital again—so much so that I quit my job and embarked on another entrepreneurial adventure. This time, I would follow my heart—and my art,” proclaimed Ogburn.
