Art and the Conversion of the Heart
Jane Smith Bernhardt  
 



Artist  Information

Jane is a graduate of the Guild for Spiritual Guidance and has studied for
several years with multi-dimensional healer Greta Bro. She has recorded several
volumes of messages from spiritual teachers in meditation.
The latest published meditations are included in her book,

We Are Here: Love Never Dies

She has traveled extensively with her visual art exhibits and original solo
dramatic performances. Finding in art a pathway to the heart and spirit,
Bernhardt uses creativity as a vehicle for human transformation.

From Auschwitz to Hiroshima, from Russia to our inner cities, teacher, author,
portraitist, and actor, Bernhardt’s art has taken her all over the world. 

A third generation portrait artist and seasoned actor of stage and television,
graduating from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Manhattan,
she poignantly combines her portrait skills and acting
in projects such as the Hibakusha Peace Project.

The Hibakusha Peace Project is a multimedia
tribute to the survivors of Hiroshima. 
Using her art to change the world, Bernhardt has delivered
lectures on art and social change,
led workshops in art and drama
for schools
, and facilitated many retreats.
