Conversations around creativity, identity, and disability 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.©2026 Nicolas Steenhout Social Sciences

    Nic Steenhout on learning urban sketching
    Sep 14 2026
    Nic Steenhout uses this solo episode to push back on standard urban sketching advice: draw from life, use ink, skip photos. He argues that advice assumes a non-disabled body and a brain that can tune out a busy street. Speaking from his own experience as a disabled sketcher, he separates scaffolding (photos, pencils, things you use while learning and can drop later) from accommodation (wheelchair access, noise control, things that don't go away once you've improved).

    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.
