For Disney artist 
, Michael Humphries, the essence of what makes up the American landscape is what fascinates me: from the solitude of a deserted barn or farmhouse to the simplicity of an old wooden garden bench with paint cracked and peeling. I’m also intrigued and inspired by the sometimes overlooked details in nature. The way light reflects off of an old watering can is just as compelling to me as the grandest of landscapes. Finding new ways of interpreting and presenting these objects in our lives that seem ordinary and mundane is my joy. I knew from an early age that art would be my passion in life. I began my professional art career at Walt Disney Studios, painting backgrounds on such films as Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and The Lion King. I was an Art Director on Fantasia 2000 and Production Designer for Sony Pictures’, Open Season. As an artist and art director for film, I’m also sharing my personal vision in print, publishing and licensing through an extraordinary book “Visual Storytelling”

Author’s Corner
Shellye Archambeau is a glass ceiling breaker, Board Member for Verizon and Nordstrom, and now an author of Unapologetically Ambitious.
Everything we do in life is a choice. Each decision we make along the way is a choice we need to own, because when we do so, we keep the power. Being intentional when we make these choices, whether in our personal or professional lives, is essential. Some choices will require that we be brave, exposing ourselves to the ruthless judgement of others.
When it comes to successfully juggling different parts of our lives – such as work and home – tough choices about what to prioritize will have to be made. We decide what’s most important, what’s worth worrying about, and do our best to let go of the rest – including the opinions of others about what kind of manager—or parent—we are.
