Speaker: Jerry Wennstrom
In the Hands of Alchemy...
"In 1979 Jerry Wennstrom was a rising star in the New York art world when he let go of his identity as an artist by intentionally destroying his large body of art and giving away his possessions. With this leap of faith Jerry embarked on a journey which lasted well over a decade of wandering, listening, seeking, and relying on intuition and unconditional trust to guide and provide for him. " - Parabola Magazine
Jerry Wennstrom is an artist, author of " The Inspired Heart : An Artist's Journey of Transformation "(book and audiobook) and subject of Parabola and Sentient Publications documentary videos, "In the Hands of Alchemy” and "Studio Dialogue."
