Anna Thea Bogdanovich is the founder of paXmaker LLC, and registered trademark paXmaker®, a multi-platform brand dedicated to creating global harmony through the arts and positive media.
I'm passionate about the Intentional Creativity and Human Potential Movements accelerating positive change in the world. I founded paXmaker, LLC to produce film, music and multimedia projects that would inspire good will and understanding across cultures.
All of us belong to one human family under one great Tree of Life. Regardless of our perceived differences, we must all fulfill the same basic needs for a happy and healthy life.
Our greatest individual and collective challenge is to learn to live in harmony with nature and with each other on planet Earth, our shared home in the vast cosmos.
As a social artist I am dedicated to contributing to a global culture of peace, non-violence and sustainability through the arts and positive media.
Collaborating across borders, encourages a “hundredth monkey” epiphany of our shared humanity and inter-connectedness with all life.
