What Art Can Do

A Conversation with Janet Morgan

By: Heather Sanderson

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Inspired by a podcast conversation between Janet Morgan and Heather Sanderson, this short 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 through her to others). 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 then shares a vision of the healing and inclusive power of art, especially in relation to building community.

Heather offers a plant spirit reading in relation to this work, and talks about why working with plants is a key part of our planetary evolution. 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!

This book includes six illustrations/images by Janet Morgan.
