Someone not so far ahead that they can relate to where you are and provide meaningful and fresh insight. The In-Between Artists podcast features honest and accessible conversations with guest artists. Your host, interdisciplinary artist Stephanie Brown, invites other creatives to share their personal journeys while highlighting practical and actionable insight on creative entrepreneurship for all to learn from. We’ll talk about money, navigating obstacles, battling patience, building networks and more! This podcast is designed to help aspiring, active, and dormant artists alike kickstart, revamp, or endure their art and design careers.
Stephanie Brown, based in Atlanta, is a photographer and installation artist exploring African descent identities through her work. As a daughter of Jamaican immigrants, her art reflects her experiences blending Jamaican and Black American identities in South Florida.
