From Silence to Strength: The Art of Becoming – Anne Plaisance

In this transformative talk, French-born artist and “artivist” Anne Plaisance invites participants to explore how creativity can sharpen focus, clarify purpose, and turn personal challenges into powerful impact. Through her own journey — from surviving domestic abuse to creating internationally recognized projects such as Wonder Women Now and Becoming More — Anne shares how art became her tool for transformation, leadership, and healing.


Blending personal experience with universal insight, she reveals how vulnerability can become strength, and how reclaiming one’s voice leads to authentic influence. For Anne, “My brush is my sword” — a reminder that creativity is not just expression, but action, courage, and change.
This inspiring session challenges leaders to look inward, embrace their own stories, and lead from truth and compassion. It’s an invitation to transform silence into purpose, pain into power, and vision into impact.


Anne Plaisance is a French-born visual artist, “artivist,” and advocate for women’s empowerment whose work transforms personal and collective trauma into resilience and change. Based near Boston, she uses painting, installation, and social practice to make the invisible visible—addressing themes such as gender-based violence, identity, and hope. Her award-winning projects, including Wonder Women Now and Becoming More, celebrate courage, healing, and self-leadership through creativity. Exhibited internationally in over 100 shows across Europe, Asia, and the U.S., Anne has been featured in The Boston Globe, Le Monde Magazine, and Artscope. A recipient of multiple cultural grants and international awards, she blends art and activism to ignite transformation. For Anne, “My brush is my sword” — a reminder that creativity is not only expression, but resistance, repair, and rebirth.
