Society, Management and Education Futures
Title: The Future of Thinking to 2038
Speakers: Julie Wilgen & Bill Peter
Abstract: Julie will challenge our thinking by discussing how her brain works. She will have a conversation with Bill Peter for 45 minutes, and then we will all have a 45 minute Q/A period to discuss the implications of her thinking patterns on The Future of Thinking to 2038.
Julie Wildgen is an artist out of necessity. The need to paint began as a balancing act – an attempt to offset the heavy demands of an analytical, left-brain job in the financial services industry against the fidgety, ethereal desire to create. With little formal art training and the desire to explore the possibilities of the mind, Julie will discuss how she utilizes intuitive “mental clues” given to her to help break through various personal barriers.
This method produced a painting of General Eisenhower speaking to the 101st Airborne on the eve of D-Day. It came to the attention of the surviving members of Easy Company, famously portrayed in the mini-series “Band of Brothers”, and several signed prints of the painting for a military charity.
