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.

    ArtStorming the Art of Remembrance: Robert Washington-Vaughns

    Send us a text What if legacy isn’t a monument, but a moment where someone finally feels seen? We sit down with Robert Washington-Vaughns to trace the unlikely path from corporate burnout and suicidal ideation to a life anchored by art, nature, and community—and a simple ritual that’s changing how men relate to themselves and each other. The Black Man Flower Project began with a brave question: why do most men only receive flowers at a funeral? Robert’s answer is a living practice that replaces isolation with acknowledgment and performance with presence.  I want to take another minute to remind you listeners that ArtStorming is a listener-supported non-profit, and we need your help to keep the conversation going.

    ArtStorming the Art of Remembrance: Elizabeth Fergus- Jean

    Send us a text Memory can move like a boat in a draft, and that’s exactly what happened the moment we stepped into Elizabeth Fergus Jean’s dream studio in the woods. Suspended vessels, flickering shadows, stones with rings of time, and a labyrinth set on a forest power point created a space where grief felt present, tender, and strangely full of life. We set out to talk about legacy and found a living bridge between ancestry, art-making, and the land that holds us. Music for ArtStorming was written and performed by John Cruikshank.

    ArtStorming the Art of Remembrance: Eric Mingus

    Send us a text A hidden cemetery. A mill built by an enslaved craftsman. A song written on the hillside where roots hold memory. Eric Mingus joins us to unpack a lineage that runs through the Great Smoky Mountains, across Cherokee land, and into a body of work that insists legacy must stay alive, not embalmed. What began as a visit became The Mill—composed on site, later performed with Yo-Yo Ma, and now growing into a traveling forum that invites communities to gather, remember, and speak.
