Borrow these tools from Lettie Jane to keep your creative practice moving in the seasons between blossoming.
We open with a poem from Lettie’s friend Megan Savage. Then artist Lettie Jane shares that just as a healthy ecosystem is not in blossom year-round, neither should your art be. To nourish your creative practice through all phases, they offer the tools they use, playfully titled: composting, seeds, sprouts, water, and crop rotation. Dig in to hear about all of the ways feeding your creative, generative process can be as important, beautiful and enjoyable as when a project is in full blossom.
About the speaker
My name is Lettie Jane Rennekamp, you can call me Lettie or Lettie Jane (she/they). I’m an artist, muralist, teacher, and parent. My art work and my teaching are relational. I use illustrations depicting people, plants and pattern to try to capture more abstract ideas like moving through grief or self acceptance. I grew up on a horse farm and I love the ocean. Coffee is my favorite beverage. I’m a mom and my kid was born in 2014. I’m partnered and have 3 stepchildren, which means I’m a step-parent and have navigated blending families. I’m an Aquarius, a weirdo, a horse-girl. I’m anxious and dyslexic. I’m a witch and I’ve spent more than a decade in therapy. I love nature and friendship and making art.
