Episode 17 - Jennifer Witt Love

I met Jennifer Witt Love while she was playing the role of the devil in a community theatre show, but I later found out she was not only a performer, but a painter, cartoonist, and radio play actress! She has also served as both President and Vice President of Hull Performing Arts. In this episode, we touched on the origins and the evolution of all of those interests, and why she loves creating things for other people.

Here’s what we talked about:

• Her initial belief that she wasn’t a “real artist,” and how long it took to overcome that
• Finding validation from her mother, her peers, and Gary Larson
• Her love for custom artwork and meaningful gifts
• The joy and confidence she’s gained from acting in radio plays
• How imagination and creativity takes away drudgery
• How anyone can draw, if they start with the basics
