After a brief hiatus, I’m delighted to bring you another episode of the Adventures in Arting Podcast!  Today we’re talking to mixed media jewelry artist, Jen Cushman.

Jen is a natural storyteller who found mixed media art 13 years ago and never looked back. She is drawn to the imperfect, the funky, the quirky, the artsy and the authentic: be it people or objects or art. She is the author of two jewelry books:

  1. there were so many great concepts & information for me to process later. i like the lifelong learning concept, following the sparkly ball, & how doing these things can enhance you as a human being. plus combining the balance of business, time, social media, family, & getting a life. nice to be introduced to jen . if she ever wants to be back in the scrapbooking club, i’m sure we’d welcome her with open arms. 🙂 glad adventures in arting is back. hooray!

  2. Awesome discusion, I will look in to Jen,s web site and specially into resin, looking forward to krep learning! Your show is so inspirational, thanks
