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.

Nic Steenhout on quilting, sketching, and photography
Guest: Nic Steenhout
Mark Miller turns the tables and interviews Nic about his own creative practice. They talk about sketching, quilting and bird photography, why making things helps quiet Nic’s mind, and why the process matters more to him than the finished work. The conversation also touches on martial arts, self-criticism, vulnerability, and wanting to be seen as more than the disabled accessibility guy.

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.
