In this inspiring episode of We Are Made to Make, host Shannon Grissom sits down with artist, dancer, educator, architect, musician, and creative explorer Nants Foley for a rich conversation about what it truly means to live a creative life. From studying architecture and teaching in collaborative art spaces to running a rural school of husbandry and embracing collage as a current artistic passion, Nants shares how creativity has been the connecting thread through every chapter of her journey.

Together, they explore the power of community in the creative process, the importance of curiosity and intentional living, and why artistry isn’t reserved for a select few — it’s something deeply human. Nants reflects on the lessons she’s learned through music, farming, teaching, and visual art, offering wisdom on reinvention, self-discovery, and finding beauty in everyday moments.

This heartfelt episode is a reminder that creativity can take countless forms and that making something meaningful often begins with simply paying attention to the world around you.
