ALL THE PARTS MAKE THE WHOLE (Suggested for Stage Four; Integration)
For this month’s Inspiration interview, Susan Melrath sits down with Academy member and CVP Alumni, Janet Smedley to discuss her background, her influences, her work and her practice. Janet’s paintings and sculptures are a combination of her many interests and inspirations—a background in architecture and drawing, looms and fibers, patterns and lines, influential wiriters and spirituality.
Here are a some highlights from the video:
• Janet began painting at age 55
• Early on she knew that Community was of the utmost importance to her
• In CVP she learned the idea of play and that creating a unique vision is your gift to the world
• Her work is inspired in part by Carl Jung, and his theory that the union of opposites is where wholeness comes from
