Embracing Sculpture and Assemblage with Maggie Stephens

The world needs more people like Maggie Stephens. She is such a joy to be around, and I LOVE her viewpoint on life, art, and creativity. Plus, her work is a whole lot of FUN!

Maggie is an absolute delight, and her view on art and creativity is infectious. And it’s exactly what I think we all need right about now. If you need to spark some joy back into your art, I highly encourage you to listen in. 

Unexpected Inspiration Opens the Door for More FUN

Maggie, an Austin-based artist, and I haven’t known each other long, but I’m already a huge fan of her work! Maggie, in her own words, “Makes things out of things.” She gives found objects a new home in her art installations, and you can see her work in places like ByGeorge, an Austin staple.

This episode was so much fun to record, and I can’t wait for you to hear us talk about things like: 

• Incorporating storytelling into your art
• How to find inspiration in the most unlikely places
• The meditative power of art and how it can impact our mental health
• Why having more FUN might be the secret to it all

Tune in and be inspired!

Until next time, y’all!
