“The creative adult is the child who survived.”
Advanced Pretend explores the inner child who is still showing up for creative professionals. Children follow a natural impulse to be original, and in that version of ourselves, we created with freedom. We talk with professionals in fine art, writing, and culinary arts, and we hope that our exchanges inspire the audience to bring creativity into their lives and to follow the creative impulse with a sense of curiosity and play. We believe that as adults, we can still tap into the child inside and find a way to see the world with fresh eyes.
This week, Jenn sits down with local Jackson Hole artist Sarah Jeffrey.

Andrew Vallee - "The Art Inside"
This week, Jenn gets a chance to chat with the inspiring Andrew Vallee. Andrew grew up in New Hope, PA, near the studios of renowned furniture maker George Nakashima, and at a young age was greatly influenced by Nakashima’s work and philosophy. Graduating from WWU in 1996 with a bachelor’s degree in Fine Art, Andrew continued his education apprenticing for noted master furniture maker Alan Rosen of Lummi Island. In 1997, he went into business with Wesley Smith, now Smith & Vallee Cabinet Makers, and has been building furniture and cabinetry ever since. They founded Smith & Vallee Gallery in 2007. Vallee’s work has been exhibited in Whatcom Museum of History and Art, Bainbridge Island Museum of Art and Museum of Northwest Art. Andrew lives in Edison, Washington, with his wife and two daughters.
