Ever wonder what makes really creative people tick? Where do their ideas come from?  What keeps them energized? What kinds of things get in their way? In each episode of ArtStorming, we’ll explore how new ideas come to life, and how the most creative among us stare down a blank canvas or reach into the void and create something new. Host Lili Pierrepont takes us on a journey of discovery; inviting us to ponder what drives and sustains the creative spark within each individual.With great appreciation for music written and performed by John Cruickshank.

    Your Ancestors Have Entered the Studio: Freeing Your Creativity From the Past? - Lexi Soulios (S2:E25)

    Send us Fan Mail You are not starting with a blank canvas, even if it looks that way from the outside. Legacy begins before you, in the land you are born on, the family system you arrive into, and the stories your body and nervous system may still be carrying on someone else’s behalf.  We sit down with Lexi Soulios, a systemic constellation facilitator and Art Bridge executive board member, to talk about lineage, inheritance, and ancestral healing and why so many of our “personal” struggles can be family-field dynamics playing out across generations. We connect the dots between systemic constellation work and modern epigenetics, then bring it to life with the iron harvest metaphor from WWI farmland: what gets buried in the field still affects what can grow until it is named and handled. ArtStorming is thrilled to announce our official partnership with Zeitgeist Dance Theatre and Francisco Gella Dance Works! Like us, they believe in pushing creative boundaries and amplifying vibrant artistic voices. Zeitgeist Dance Theatre and Francisco Gella Dance Works are dedicated to advancing contemporary dance and dance education in New Mexico and beyond.

    What If Mystery Is A Kind Of Memory? - BC Smith (S2:E24)

    Send us Fan Mail Strip away the parlor tricks, dim the lights, and let sound do something it usually is not allowed to do. We’re in Santa Fe with composer and magician B.C. Smith inside Phasmagorica, an immersive seance experiment where 13 guests gather around a table, choose “trigger items,” and step into a carefully designed mystery that lives in the liminal space between belief and disbelief. No mediums, no holograms, no cheap scares. The unsettling part is how personal it can feel.

    Rothko Chapel and the Art of Healing-Abdullah Antepli (S2:E22)

    Send us Fan Mail Something is breaking in how we talk to each other, and yelling louder is not fixing it. Lili Pierrepont sits down with Abdullah Antepli, the newly appointed president of Houston’s Rothko Chapel, to explore a different approach: art as a sanctuary for slowing down, telling the truth about our past, and rebuilding trust across deep divides.

    The Modern Elder Mindset - Chip Conley (S2:E21)

    Send us Fan Mail Midlife isn’t just a number, it’s the moment your life asks for a new operating system. We sit down with Chip Conley, founder of Modern Elder Academy, boutique hotel pioneer, and early Airbnb mentor, to talk about what happens when success stops feeling satisfying and the future suddenly feels urgent. Chip shares the chain of events that pushed him into reinvention, including loss, burnout, and a near-death flatline experience that delivered one blunt message: slow down.

    A Cloud in the Ground and Other Beautifully Weird Goodbyes - Daniel Wheeler (S2:E20)

    Send us Fan Mail What would it change if we treated death as part of our creative life instead of a topic we avoid until we have no choice?

    How We Use Art to Process Grief and History - Joanna Ebenstein (E2S18)

    Send us Fan Mail Most of us are taught to treat death like a distant problem for “someday” and then we wonder why it feels so terrifying when it finally shows up. I’m joined by Joanna Ebenstein, the founder of Morbid Anatomy, to challenge that reflex and to reclaim death as a subject that can be met with dignity, curiosity, and even beauty.
