Rachel Cornell
Before going head long into a nagging, speaking and writing career, Rachel (Zamek) Cornell challenged the odds by becoming the first legally blind visual artist to receive a Masters Degree in Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. After graduation, she enjoyed a prolific career as a professional mixed media artist. Cornell has shown her work throughout the United States, as well as participated in such prestigious shows as the International Assemblage Artist Exhibition in Berlin, Germany. Cornell argues that it is not a disability or a “problem” that will cripple and limit your life. It is how you think about them that creates limitations and insurmountable barriers. She asks her clients and audiences to question their thinking, to see if is working for them, and if not, how that can flip a thought suit their goals. This is not positive thinking. Cornell will be the first to tell you that there’s power in pitching a fit, and positive thinking often leads people down an unhealthy rabbit hole.
