About Storytellers Project
We can't wait to see you at one of our in-person or virtual shows this year! We promise a night of connection, laughter and catharsis. USA TODAY Network journalists have curated an event we believe will make you feel better about yourself, and your community. At Storytellers Project, we help people tell true stories about who they are, what they do, and why it matters. Since 2016, at hundreds of shows with thousands of tellers, we connect people and communities to drive change. Storytellers Project is a nationwide series of live storytelling events featuring neighbors and notables sharing personal stories. What makes us unlike any other storytelling event is that USA TODAY Network journalists curate and coach the tellers to develop stories that serve their communities. We are dedicated to creating empathy across America. Knoxville Storytellers Project is produced from the newsroom of the News Sentinel and knoxnews.com.

"Abstracts on Display" will host a rotating series of abstract artists from around the country. Jen Sterling is the inaugural artist!

Artist's Statement: I can feel an entire shift in my thinking and my emotions when viewing a strikingly bold and colorful piece of art. The goal of my work is to inspire energy and excitement from within. These images are meant to make you feel strong and powerful — to burst into your morning with a zing, to prod you into action when you reach your midday lull, and/or to invigorate your senses after a long day. Ideally, my art evokes a reaction and reminds you that life is for feeling and stretching, and living.

JEN STERLING is an abstract painter based in Annapolis, MD. Her work inspires energy and excitement in homes and workspaces. She works large and small and adores commissions. For more info visit www.jensterling.com and follow @jensterlingart on Instagram.
