Following Your Joy: Art, Courage & Creating What Lights You Up (with Jennifer Crotwell)

In this episode, Sandy sits down with artist and art teacher Jennifer Crotwell, who has been quietly building a beautiful little art school out of her garage studio in Vienna Woods. Jennifer shares how she went from art school in San Francisco to teaching kids, teens, and now adults in her own space, and what it really looks like to follow your joy even when doubt and fear pop up. They talk about creativity as a form of therapy, why there’s no “wrong” in art, and how letting yourself make “imperfect” things can open up whole new parts of you. If you’ve been feeling a nudge toward something creative—or just something that lights you up—this conversation is your sign.
