Creative Journeys: Stephanie Stone-Robb - Finding Flow with Watercolor

The very first episode of Creative Journeys: A Wild Free Art Podcast is here — and I couldn’t be more thrilled to share it with you!

In this conversation, I sit down with Stephanie Stone-Robb, who shares how watercolor became a meaningful part of her life and a pathway to wellness. Stephanie’s story is a beautiful reminder that you don’t need to be a professional artist to find joy, healing, and connection through creativity.

We talk about:

• How she first discovered watercolor as a creative outlet

• The ways painting supports her mental health and sense of balance

• Why she believes creativity is for everyone

• How she carves out space for art in her everyday life

This episode is the perfect starting point for the podcast - a gentle, inspiring reminder that creativity can be simple, personal, and deeply powerful.
