What if we can change the world?

I believe that artists like us will, in fact, change the world...one creative rebellion at a time.

Forming the Art That Overcomes creative collective is one way we’re going to do this.

What am I talking about?

Here’s my definition of a Creative Rebellion:

Any creative act that aims to introduce new and original ideas that go against the norm. (What if we have more power to change the world than we thought?)

And here’s my definition of a Creative Collective:

A group of humans who identify as creative and share a common identity or goal. A collective is also controlled by the people who are a part of it.

An organized Creative Rebellion, if you will 😉

My future vision for the Art That Overcomes monthly membership includes opportunities for each member to take over the platform and share their art, their voice, their ideas, their message...their rebellion.

I’ll coach you through it, but you decide how it all shows up.
Virtual art exhibit?
Live online concert?
Group calls?
An in-person meet-up?​

This isn’t just about my voice; it’s about all of us coming together, learning, and supporting one another’s visions for taking our creative rebellions outside of the Art That Overcomes platform, into the real world.

While I’m exploring which platform will be the best fit for us, I’ve got a gift for you... a way to go ahead and get started.

Sometimes I wish that I wasn’t creative.

Sometimes I wish that I could be content to live a linear life, with no need for adventure.

Sometimes I envy those who don’t feel a constant urge to stir things up, create new projects, and generate idea after idea after idea.

My brain doesn’t stop dreaming, planning, and making new things out of nothing.

I’m not content in my 9-5 job.

I don’t like being told what to do.

And I can’t bear the thought of staying put for the rest of my life and accepting a paycheck for following the rules.

But as artists, writers, musicians, and creatives of all kinds….

We weren’t born to follow the rules.

We aren’t here to blend in, sit down, and accept the status quo.

We were designed to create our own paths… and to call others to join our cause.

What do you dream of creating in this world?

Even if it sounds crazy.

Even if it seems too hard.

Even when others doubt you…

What do YOU want, Overcomer?

Just like me, there’s a voice inside YOU that is screaming to come out and shine.

You’ve got something to say, to write, to sing, to draw, to paint, to dance….

And there’s so much meaning and message behind it. There is so much inside you that others need to hear.

What is your Creative Rebellion?

What were you born to create in this world?

The answer is probably simpler than you think. It’s what makes you feel most alive. It’s what you could create for hours without anyone watching. It’s the message that burns a hole in your heart when you consider holding it in.

Will you join me in the Art That Overcomes movement?

We are a creative collective of artists giving voice to trauma and oppression.

We are using our creativity and our voices.

We are living out loud, and changing the world…

One Creative Rebellion at a time.

What type of art do you create?

Or what do you want to start creating? Comment and let us know!

My creative work mostly consists of abstract paintings/drawings. I also enjoy writing, and I self-published a book in 2023.

But that’s not what I really create.

At its core, my art is about identifying and processing my emotions and reflecting that back out to others. My work helps others feel seen, and not alone.

One goal of the Art That Overcomes creative collective is for us to spur one another on to figure out what each of our Creative Rebellions are... what message are we each called to share with the world through our chosen art forms?

I want to create a world with more vulnerability, empathy, and real, raw expression of self.

What kind of world will you create?

So... let’s talk more about this whole Creative Rebellion thing.

As individualistic and autonomous as many artists like to be (guilty as charged!), we do actually need each other, right?

(The correct answer is YES!)

Yesterday I shared about my vision for what the Art That Overcomes creative collective membership can look like online, and I’ll be fleshing that out more in the weeks to come...

But can we make this happen in real life too?

I think so.

What I’ve got up my sleeve is a plan to start with virtual, group art exhibits where members get to share pieces of your Creative Rebellions within the collective (through any artform you desire).

Then...

I want to curate in-person gallery exhibits, starting locally in my area of Louisville, KY, and branching out wherever the Art That Overcomes members exist IRL.

I’d love to create yearly book anthologies of art and poetry... a compilation of the Art That Overcomes exhibits from the previous year.

And, if the good Lord deems it possible....

My dream is to run a real-life Art That Overcomes gallery of my own, where I can curate and host exhibits and performances in my unique space.

Creative Rebellions require that we dream BIG. Nothing is off limits when planning, dreaming, scheming, and vision casting.

What will it mean to be a part of the Art That Overcomes monthly membership?

Earlier this week I shared my definition of a Creative Rebellion:

Any creative act that aims to introduce new and original ideas that go against the norm. (What if we have more power to change the world than we thought?)

Then I shared my definition of a Creative Collective:

A group of humans who identify as creative and share a common identity or goal. A collective is also controlled by the people who are a part of it.

An organized Creative Rebellion, if you will 😉

My future vision for the Art That Overcomes monthly membership includes:

✨Access to an exclusive online community with other members.

✨Daily, weekly, and monthly trainings and coaching from other members.

✨Apply for opportunities to curate the monthly theme and provide your own training and coaching to members (includes 2 free coaching sessions with Jenn to plan it out).

✨Participate in virtual, group art exhibits with other Art That Overcomes members.

✨Gain access to schedule coaching sessions with Jenn for additional cost (let’s plan your Creative Rebellion!).

What do you think?

I’ll be back tomorrow to share how we can go even bigger with this vision...what could the collective look like IRL?

What is a creative collective?

A group of humans who identify as creative and share a common identity or goal.

A collective is also controlled by the people who are a part of it.

My vision for what the Art That Overcomes creative collective can become is BIG! It’s GINORMOUS!

In the near future, there will be a paid membership, in addition to a free community component.

Right now, we are exploring the vibes of a free community within this Facebook group (come join us, already!).

This will eventually exist outside of the confines of Meta..... and here’s the goal:

Inside the free, Art That Overcomes creative collective, you will:

Represent yourself with your own profile, follow other creatives, and invite them to follow you.

Post content about your creative projects and practices.

Comment on others’ posts to discuss, encourage, collaborate, and inspire each other.

(Refer to yesterday’s email for a definition of Creative Rebellion 😊)

What do you think?

I’ll be posting each day this week, sharing more about my vision for what the Art That Overcomes collective can become as we continue to grow. Tomorrow I’ll give a glimpse of what the paid membership will look like... I’m SO EXCITED to share this vision! GIRNORMOUSLY excited!

Our future is in the hands of artists like you.

What kind of world will you create?

Let’s start your creative rebellion today, Overcomer!

What do I mean by that?

Glad you asked 😉

A Creative Rebellion is any creative act that aims to introduce new and original ideas that go against the norm.

We bring the unexpected!

We invite our viewers, listeners, and readers to think and feel in new ways. We invite exploration and imagination…

What if?

What if we have more power to change the world than we thought?

Part of my personal creative rebellion is the Art That Overcomes creative collective.

We are artists giving voice to trauma and oppression. We are informed by the techniques of art therapy and guided by values of inclusion, activism, and healing.

You belong here if any of the following are true:

You identify as a Creative in any medium or genre.

You are an Overcomer of trauma or oppression.

You feel called to take Action in response to the dumpster fire that is the 2025 political climate.

You have a Spiritual bent, believing there’s more to this life than meets the eye.

You have a genuine desire to create Beauty in this world, using your artistic voice.

You can’t wait to Connect with other creatives who feel the same way!

In short —

You are a
Creative
Overcomer who takes
Action guided by your
Spiritual beliefs, to make
Beauty as a means to
Connect with other humans.

What do you think?

I’ll be posting each day this week, sharing more about my vision for what the Art That Overcomes collective can become as we continue to grow.

While I test out this beta launch of the Art That Overcomes creative collective, I’ve decided to offer the community to you for free, through a Facebook group. I would absolutely love to have you there. Come let me know what you think! This community is what YOU make it! (see comments)

Isn’t it bizarre that the rebellion of this decade in America seems to be things like joy, kindness, and equality?

More and more, I feel like the very act of hearing people out, turning off the news, tuning into others around me, and creating beauty through art and connection…

These are the acts that go against the grain.

Kindness feels like an utter rebellion against the norm in our country right now.

I’ve always disliked the phrase “Choose Joy”.

I find it to be too simplified, as if we can just ignore the horrors around us and choose to be happy at any given moment.

But what’s helped me to move toward joy lately is to think of it this way:

Look for the joy.

I’m striving to pay attention to opportunities where I can experience joy, and to the moments of deep joy already found in my heart, even while I wade through troubling news headlines, and my own personal stressors too.

Joy is bright. Joy is goodness.

Joy is rebellion…in a world of depression and hate.

What are your thoughts?
Are you able to experience joy right now? Are you looking for it?
If so, where are you finding joy?

I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments 😊

💫🎨You can also join our brand-new Art That Overcomes Facebook group!

This is a FREE community to share your thoughts, feelings, and creative endeavors.

This month's theme is JOY 💛

(While I test out this beta launch of the Art That Overcomes creative collective, I've decided to ditch my paid membership and offer the community to you for free, through this Facebook group. I would absolutely love to have you there. Come let me know what you think! This community is what YOU make it!)
