The world needs more of Maggie Stephens' joyful perspective on art and creativity — and it’s why I am SO excited to have her on the show. Maggie is an Austin artist who, in her own words, "Makes things out of things," giving found objects a new life in her installations. 

Listen to hear more about her work, how she fills it with stories, how she finds inspiration in the most unlikely places, and why having more FUN might be the secret to it all. If you need to spark some joy back into your art, this episode is for you!
