Description

In this episode, I sit down with Jenni Stringleman and Frank Gordon to talk about painting, illness, and the practical realities that shape an artist’s work. Jenni shares how her ovarian cancer was discovered, and how it’s changed the pace and priorities of her studio life.


Jenni chatted about how that experience changed her priorities: she moved quickly to paint what she wanted to paint, reduced studio output at times because of physical limitations, and now chooses projects with more personal meaning.


We discussed some of the coping strategies, everyday rituals and practical support that helped Jenni through this time and the complicated path of finding her new normal.
