Myra Goldick, president of Living Through Art, Inc, is an inspirational speaker, author, storyteller, professional artist, Radio talk show co-host, and above all a survivor.
At the age of ten, paralyzed by polio, she was told she would never walk again and accepting her limitations was her only option. Devastated by poverty, discrimination and disability during her youth, Myra became a survivor who refused to believe anyone else's negative opinion of her potential. During adolescence, Myra struggled to overcome the devastating effects of polio. She clung to her love for creativity and art. After years of hospitalization, painful rehabilitation, surgeries, isolation, and home schooling, she was awarded a full scholarship to the prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City.
Through perseverance, faith, and self-creativity she rose above adversity building a successful business career and personal life.
Areas of expertise:
After 20 years, she developed post polio syndrome and retired from the cosmetic industry. With every adversity we endure, Myra acknowledges there is always the beginning of an opposite advantage. She returned to the Fashion Institute of Technology where she earned a degree in Millinery Design. Myra then became a successful designer on 7th I Avenue New York City for 10 years.
