Layers of Imagination: Painting, Play, and Personal Growth with Juliette Crane
In this episode of ReBloom, we’re joined by artist Juliette Crane, whose work blends the whimsical and the profound. Based in the Driftless Region of Wisconsin, Juliette’s colorful mixed-media paintings explore memory, imagination, and the natural world—inviting viewers into layered worlds where abstraction meets figuration.
Juliette shares how losing her job in 2009 led her back to painting, and how embracing imperfection and play transformed not just her creative process, but her life. We talk about the stories behind her characters, the symbolism of layering, and how she continues to evolve as an artist, mentor, and teacher.
