Steven Csorba
Website | Instagram | Patreon
Born in 1964, Edmonton artist Steven Csorba is a painter, printmaker and master of visual remix. During a ten year span (2004-2014) Steven used visual art therapy as a tool to help survive cancer. He created a vast and unprecedented body of work that celebrates a bold expressionism and optimistic edge. His goal is to use all means of art making and appropriation in an attempt to transgress the broadest possible comprehension of our world today.
Sketched-out, handpainted, old-school meets new, re-mixed, digitally re-composed and negated, painted and textured, re-mixed again, recycled and so on. His process of art making is a fluid and organic process where the daunting task of visual remix presents an infinite amount of options – unique, powerful works of art that represent a boundless energy, a cultural recombination of images from all corners of the world. He borrows images from the depths of art history as well as from art influences and trends that are only minutes old and often original to the artist himself.
For Steven it's all about taking the positive energy he can find and through his art and persona – elevating visual experience to higher levels. The powerful energy seen in his art represents the heroic struggle all cancer survivors go through and projects the drive and depth of a person who knows life is precious.

About Kaylor Betts
My name is Kaylor Betts..
and I am the founder of The Mental Wealth Project.
From as far back as I can remember, I have been challenged by my Mental Health. Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, A.D.H.D, and addictions, have always been a part of my life.
These challenges I've faced, have sparked an obsessive journey in my life, to not only be able to deal with these challenges, but overcome them, and become the most extraordinary version of myself. A mission to become unstoppable.
I have been an entrepreneur for 10 years, where I started in the fitness industry, building and running a private gym for 5 years. More recently, in the last two years, I have built a digital marketing company, Alchemi Marketing Solutions, a company that helps businesses market their brands online.
Almost a year ago, I was sitting on my couch, and had an "aha moment". After transitioning out of the fitness industry, I had been lacking a sense of meaning and purpose in my life. I found myself working in the marketing world, living a life that anyone should be grateful for, but not feeling entirely fulfilled, and all of a sudden it hit me. I realized that I need to turn what I always thought was my biggest pain, weakness, and something I honestly felt quite ashamed about, into my biggest gift. I was awakened to the fact that my calling in this world, was to become an advocate, share my story, bring people together and impact millions of people who need to improve their mental health. It was only days after this incredibly special moment in my life, that I came up with the concept of The Mental Wealth Project.
Since this time, I have been not only working extra hard on all aspects of my life, and feel like a completely different person, but have been working hard on bringing this project to life.
I am now also starting my journey as a Mental Wealth Coach and starting to help people struggling with their mental & physical health to enhancing their habits, mindset, and spirit, so they can live life to their highest potential.
Along with building The Mental Wealth Project to its highest potential, I want to show people how I went from barely being able to cope with the intensities of life, to living with the life I have always dreamed of living.
I could not be more excited to enter into the mental health space and work towards impacting millions of people, from all around the world.
The Mental Wealth Project
The Mental Wealth Project exists to fill a major hole in the mental health epidemic we face.
Things like therapy, medication, and spreading awareness, are all crucial aspects to improving someones lives, but in many cases, these alone are not enough.
We need to come together. We need community, support, and easily accessible resources for those who want and need to improve their mental health. We are going to harness the power of the internet, to help fight mental health challenges.
The Mental Wealth Projects mission, is to become the largest online community and online resource in the world, for mental health. A place where people can build Mental Wealth, online.
Whether you are clinically diagnosed with a mental illness or just want to improve your mental health, we are going to have a few powerful resources.
We are going to be very active on all of the major social platforms. Showcasing profound and inspiring stories and spreading credible knowledge / best practices that will aid in ones mental health journey.
We will be be providing perspectives, tools and sharing powerful stories through our daily blog, from our founder Kaylor Betts, and people all around the world who write about all things mental health.
The Mental Wealth Podcast is another addition to The Mental Wealth Project. Hosted by Kaylor Betts, this podcast will hold at times intense, stimulating, and knowledge ridden conversations that will take place with a variety of different guests for each episode.
The Mental Wealth Podcast's goal is to unpack and share the tools, tips, and best practices that help in overcoming Mental Health challenges, and to most importantly, provide hope and instil optimism into the hearts of those who want and need a better life.
Additionally, the Mental Wealth Project's exclusive Online Facebook group will be launching in November of this year. A global conversation of all things mental health. A community where people can open up and feel comfortable sharing their stories and connecting with others from all around the world they can relate to. We are teaming up with some of the top experts in the Mental Health space, from Psychologists / Doctors, Nutritionists, to Performance Coaches and much more to bring their knowledge and their work to the Facebook community, and answer our communities questions / concerns.
The Mental Wealth Project is not a replacement for any clinical therapies or medication, nor is it a cure by any means. This is an additive to all other treatments or resources currently available.
It is all of us coming together and Instead of suffering alone in the dark, curled up in our beds, keeping all of this inside, it's finding the courage to open up about the challenges we face and lets start facing them, together.
The Mental Wealth Project is going to start small, and we'd be lying if we said we know exactly where this project will go, we want to hear what you need as well, but we have a big vision and a big plan.
With the Mental Wealth Project, we are in this together, and together, we will become unstoppable!
