What is art and who is an artist? Solo episode with Jenn Van de Vooren

In this in augural episode of Off the Canvas, I, (Jenn Van de Vooren) explore how the benefits of art-making can enrich your life way beyond your creative practice. I share how my art-making journey has been so much more fulfilling than any resulting art masterpiece. 

The insights, joy, healing, and self reflection that come from your own creative expression are completely unique to you and you can't get it wrong. I'll show you how to access these treasures in your own art creations and apply them to your life off the canvas. 

We dive into the questions of what is art? and who is an artist?  (Spoiler alert - You are an artist!). I expand the definition of art way beyond traditional painting, music, dance, etc. It is what you make it!

Lastly, and with every episode, I  provide you with a simple art prompt so you can start making your own art and experience all the treasures that art can bring to your life on and off the canvas. 

If you want to connect with other like-minded artists and see how they are implementing their art wisdom on and off the canvas please join my pod squad in a private Facebook group called Off the Canvas. (It's also a place where I share live art gatherings, gifts, and all-around good vibes).
