About Maura:
An avid artist, Maura Joy Lustig finds inspiration all around her, in her hometown of Peterborough, Ontario, a beautiful land of lakes, rivers and rolling hills, bordering on the southern tip of the Canadian Shield. Maura’s passion for health, travel, painting, reading, and writing now meld into her two careers- painting and serving others as a career life coach. The two intertwine, as her clients find inspiration in her art, and their stories feed her to bring new life to her paintings. As an artist, writer, coach and speaker, she inspires, motivates and empowers others to reignite their passion, connect it successfully with purpose, and find balance and pleasure in life.
