In this episode, we delve into the creative world of Thomas Hicks, a rising multidisciplinary artist who seamlessly blends photography, mixed media, and sculpture. Through his work, Thomas demonstrates that art is an ever-evolving conversation—one where reuse, remixing, and reimagining old ideas lead to new stories.

Building on themes introduced by our first guest, Ty Davis, we see how generational shifts have reshaped how artists approach their craft. Where Ty once felt a tinge of shame for painting over an old piece, Thomas boldly reuses and reinterprets materials without hesitation—reflecting how younger generations embrace art as a fluid, living process.

We explore:

Thomas’s perspective invites us to let go of old stigmas and embrace the infinite possibilities that come from reworking what we already have.

Thomas Hicks is a multidisciplinary artist from Greenville, South Carolina, currently completing his senior year at the College of Charleston. His work draws on themes of connection, spirituality, and transformation, using materials like vintage photography, textiles, and pastels. Thomas has exhibited at Redux Contemporary Art Center, the Halsey Institute's Young Contemporaries, and beyond, crafting art that reimagines the past for the future.

In the very first episode of the Sus Art Club Podcast, we sit down with Ty Davis, a contemporary abstract expressionist whose creative journey weaves together family legacy, rebellion, and the pursuit of freedom through art. From early days of doodling to mastering portraiture and eventually breaking into abstract expressionism, Ty shares how creativity has been his lifelong companion and how music, spirituality, and mistakes fuel his process.

We explore:

Ty’s story is a reminder that everything—life, art, spirituality—is connected, and it’s up to us to explore it with intention and curiosity.

"Creative Moxie" is your podcast host, Steph, here to reconnect with everyone who's been part of this incredible journey. Born out of the pandemic's chaos in 2020, my desire to contribute creatively led me to start this podcast. I began by sharing my love for books, notably "The Four Agreements," which resonated deeply due to my Mexican American heritage. From those roots, the podcast evolved, featuring engaging conversations with fellow creatives, sparking deep insights and learning.

The podcast's pace accelerated in 2021 as my art career soared. I curated 20 art shows, participated in six, and juggled creative consulting and commercial art. But burnout forced a 2022 podcast hiatus, during which I analyzed my habits through the Mindfully Creative process, ultimately revamping the podcast's direction. This season introduces three episode types: interviews, reflections, and integrations, the latter being exclusive content initially. Listener support and feedback will guide its development.

"Creative Moxie" celebrates our artistic essence and choices, advocating for decisions based on love over fear. From returning guest Connor Locke to future interviews, reflections, and integrations, the podcast weaves together creativity, habits, and the art of living. Join me for a journey that honors both chaos and love, artistry, and life's transformative power.
