ALEKA ARTEMIS MUNROE
ARTIST BIO
Aleka Artemis Munroe has always needed to express herself with words. At age 10 Aleka began photographing with a Brownie camera, recording reality and writing poems expressing her perspective.
Aleka’s linguistics and foreign languages education etched words into her soul. After careers in banking, training, then teaching, a brain injury, and raising a theatrical and musical family where words were essential tools, her fifties hit hard with the chaos of a failed adoption, multiplying autoimmune illness and the hard reality of being physically unreliable to work due to disability.
Her creativity, comedic family, friends, and prayer, pulled her through. Aleka believes God gives her the strength to get through pain, sorrow and suffering, to live, love, laugh, and especially to reach out to others who are struggling to choose between despair and courage, connection and disconnection.
Mindfulness helps Aleka move through the uncertainty of autoimmune flares and she endeavors to help others using her creative tools.
