AIR Series 65: Georgia Youngs
March 1st, 2014
My love affair with art. From the very beginning art has influenced and shaped my life as an artist, as an instructor, as a person and always as a student. I'm not sure if my art journey is unique but it sure has seen me through the heights of success through the lows of divorce. Please come and join me in an evening as I endeavor to explain my recent joys and show you the results of these fleeting emotions.
My life is always is an open book. Nothing to hide. No regrets. Always willing to answer any questions so if you ever wondered what drives an artist, what makes them do what they do, now is the time to ask. I'll answer as well as I can to help you understand what some consider the mystique of artists and the art world. I look forward to my time with you.

AIR Series 64: Olivia Fermi
February 15th, 2014
Then and Now: Women Respond to the Manhattan Project
Meet Olivia Fermi, granddaughter of one of the scientists working at the heart of the top-secret effort to build the first atomic bombs (code- named the Manhattan Project). Reporting to Robert Oppenheimer, Enrico Fermi (1901-1954) led teams at Los Alamos, New Mexico (the brains of the project) and Hanford, WA. He and a very small group of scientists were in the know about their mission. However, during World War II, the US military employed thousands of civilians, the majority of whom were women, to serve without knowing the deadly purpose of their work.
Olivia will talk to us about how women, after the war, respond and become community visionaries and leaders. In this half-hour talk, she will focus on two women: her grandmother Laura Fermi (1907-1977), pioneering social and environmental leader and Marian Naranjo (1950- ), an indigenous thought leader whose people have lived on the land now occupied by Los Alamos National Lab (LANL) for thousands of years. Marian is a traditional Pueblo potter, bridging two cultures as a community builder and environmental and social justice advocate.
Olivia Fermi, MA, ConRes Cert, lives in Vancouver and has a private practice in transpersonal counseling, coaching and group facilitation: http://consulting.fermi.ca. In her spare time, she passionately follows the Neutron Trail, her name for a cultural inquiry project into our shared nuclear legacy: www.neutrontrail.com. In 2010 Olivia gave a TEDx talk in Rome, Italy (her grandfather's birthplace) on becoming the inspiration we seek. Check it out here: http://neutrontrail.com/2011/10/tedxtransmedia-rome-italy/

AIR Series 63: Yukiko Onley
January 17th, 2014
Fabulous Faces
Yukiko was born and grew up in Osaka, Japan, but has lived in Vancouver since 1976. She has been surrounded by art for most of her life. Her grandmother was a master of the tea ceremony and of flower arrangements, and one of her aunts was an accomplished painter in Japan.
Yukiko’s early training was as a painter. Her long association with the Canadian artist Toni Onley, both during and after their marriage, has been a significant influence on her work. In 1989, painting led her to photography.
Self-taught, Yukiko has become one of the finest portrait photographers on the West Coast. Her approach to her subjects is intuitive and spontaneous. Her portraits are elegant, sophisticated, and timeless. Besides portraits, she is active in photographing theater and dance productions.
Yukiko, along with a photographer Yoshinori Tanaka, runs a multipurpose space, Visual Space, in Vancouver. There have been numerous exhibitions of Yukiko’s work
