How a late start, a health scare and an abandoned powerplant shaped Janne Kearney's creativity.

Janne Kearney started painting in her 40’s. She struggled through her own feelings of not being a “real artist” or that her work was not valid. After a health scare shifted her perspective and she was selected as a semi-finalist for the BP portrait awards, Janne is feeling a lot more comfortable in her role as an artist. Which is great for us, for her students, and for the people who enjoy her paintings because with those distractions gone, Janne is focused on what actually matters: her art. This show is for you if you are wondering if you started painting too late. It’s for you if you have ever thought, "why bother entering that competition?', or wondered if you’re wasting time. If that’s you, Janne has a few stories for you and a few pieces of advice you might want to take to heart.Support the podcast- Savvy Painter is a labor of love.
