EP16 - In this inspiring episode, collage artist Marcus Dawson shares his journey from using art as self-care to becoming a celebrated visual storyteller. Based in North Carolina, Marcus creates vibrant, hand-cut collages that center people of color in whimsical, dreamlike settings filled with flowers, hills, and celestial touches. His work—featured in *Create! Magazine*, *Wilder Collage*, and *Southern Cultures*—blends creativity with purpose, often inspired by his love for jazz. Marcus opens up about the power of representation, his artistic process, and offers thoughtful advice for aspiring artists looking to explore their own creative paths.
