Conversations around creativity, identity, and disability
About
The Work Between is a podcast about the relationship between creative practice and identity. Host Nic Steenhout talks with disabled creators, artists, and makers. Guests include painters, quilters, musicians, sculptors, and photographers. Conversations explore how artistic work and disability shape each other. These aren't inspiration stories. They're conversations about the actual, sometimes complicated ways people make things.

Mia Seljubac on watercolor and game development
Guest: Mia Seljubac
Mia Seljubac is a games lawyer who is building I Am the Cat, a cozy narrative game with fully hand-painted watercolor animation. Her visual style draws from illustrated children's books, and she animates every frame by hand on a light box. She talks about living with ADHD and a spinal injury and why she identifies as a maker who is disabled.

This show is about creative work: How it's made, sustained, and sometimes blocked. It centers disabled voices and treats disability as a lived experience shaped by the world around us, not a metaphor. I don't platform perspectives that deny disabled people's autonomy or dignity.
Come talk to me
- Are you an artist or a maker?
- Are you disabled?
When I ask if you are an artist or a maker, I'm thinking about people who make things. Painters, sculptors, musicians, photographers, chefs, fiber artists, and authors. If that sounds like you, I'd love to talk.
I would love to invite you as a guest on the show if you answered yes to both questions. Please contact me at info@nicolas-steenhout.com to discuss your participation on the podcast.
