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.”

Originally shy and awkward, Stephanie is now one of those people who, as soon as you meet her, you’ll feel joy around.  She graduated from Langara College (Digital & Print Publications, Dean’s Honour Roll) and recently from Simon Fraser University (Editing Certificate). 

Stephanie’s love for literature has lingered and will always be a labour of love. Try saying that ten times fast!
