Description

Dear Artist, are you kind to yourself? Vanessa Brantley Newton believes its crucial so we can show kindness to the world as Christ would. This is Part 2 of my interview with this vibrant illustrator and storyteller. Vanessa knows how to shake things up with the likes of Judy Blume and find out why she says she is perpetually 5 years old.

We talk about:

• Biscuits and jam at Hutchmoot,
• How song and fashion inform her art,
• Artists who have influenced her like Ezra Jack Keats and Eric Carle,
• Finding joy in music, dance, and salty water dogs.
