Stephanie Watterson_Journey of the Art

Handling weirdness and evolving as an artist

In this episode, Stephanie C. Watterson (writer, editor, and mixed media artist) and I discuss the importance of evolving as artists and embracing one’s differences. 

Stephanie reminisces on painting on the glass doors of her childhood home and shares a touching piece of advice her dad shared with her about being the weird one. In Stephanie’s words, “Nobody has your brain, nobody has your heart, nobody has what you have. And even if you’re the weird kid, there’s a reason why you’re the weird kid. You’ll find your tribe, you’ll find your species.”
