Description

Does shame hinder you from being the artist you are? Artist and writer Vesper Stamper came to faith in a creative environment that was “decidedly unshameful.” She’s the artist of the month. Her book What the Night Sings won multiple awards and her new book A Cloud of Outrageous Blue recently released. Vesper and I discuss restraint as the key to artistic longevity and joining spiritual practice with art.

We also talk about:

• Being grounded to home.
• Solace and lifegiving input from gardening.
• The accident that propelled her into grad school, and unsuspectingly, historical fiction.
• Using her art to battle anti-semitism and dehumanization.
• Being believed.
