Details: When Heather Sanderson and Janet Morgan sat down for a podcast interview an hour flew by. Heather's natural curiosity and skill at listening brought out many stories from a long life in art. Here they have added more than eighty images of Janet's work to bring the words and stories to life. Inspired by a podcast conversation between Janet Morgan and Heather Sanderson, this book explores what art is and what it can do both personally and collectively. Janet talks about her creative process and shares the wisdom that making and teaching art has brought to her (and to others through her). In exploring the outrageous, the foolish, and the divine, Janet shares how some of her best work started with a failure, rejection, and/or making a mess and what that means in art and in life! She also shares a vision of the healing and inclusive power of art, especially to build community. Worksheets to aid in creating your own deity, commitments to your art, and other calls to action are included to make this book an immersive and interactive experience, so that you can contribute to the conversation in your own way. Together, the future is possible!
