S2E1: Childlike Beginnings


"There is a humility and a child-likeness that's necessary for being an artist and letting your creativity grow. A certain willingness to be foolish is inherent in the work of seeing the flicker of a half-formed idea of something new & giving it the respect, the belief, the credence . . .  to honor it and nourish it— to suspend disbelief long enough for it to become something believable."  Join Jane in a discussion of embracing the childlike, early stages of small beginnings.  

Jane Boutwell is an artist & creative coach based in Atlanta, Georgia. She loves to nurture and empower others to pursue their creative callings.

"I am an artist with an inquisitive mind, a heart connected to nature and a soul yearning towards God…a child of dirt and dance…a beauty bringing blessing writer… a poetic painter and potter.

Starting with mud pies as a child in the backyard, my creativity includes tactile, intuitive, and deeply-in-touch-with-nature ways of being in the world. I see myself as an apprentice in God’s art studio of the natural world that is full of metaphor, imprinted with the character of the Maker. 

It is my passion to share the shimmering beauty and deep truths I find in the creative medium that seems most fitting. Those creative expressions include gardening, quilting, writing, painting, sketching, ceramics, dancing, creative coaching, podcasting, and family life with my husband and four children in Tucker/Atlanta, Georgia."
