Stephanie Scott is an artist and designer who creates large-scale murals that transform corporate offices, restaurants, and public spaces across North America. Her work bridges decorative arts history with contemporary design, blending hand-painted and digitally-printed installations that tell stories rooted in community, nature, and timeless symbolism.In this conversation, Stephanie reveals her journey from a supportive arts high school program to becoming one of the most sought-after muralists in the Kitchener-Waterloo region. She discusses the creative philosophy behind designing work that thousands will see daily, the challenge of avoiding trends while staying relevant, and why she deliberately avoids having a signature style. Stephanie opens up about the psychological pull of overwork, the dance-like flow state of painting, and why she believes human creativity will always have something AI can never replicate—the physical, embodied experience of creation itself.Key TakeawaysDeliberately avoids having one signature style because she would "lose her mind" doing the same approach repeatedly—her creativity demands varietyResearch process involves listing obvious ideas first, then discarding them to dig deeper beyond surface-level cliches and predictable imageryDraws inspiration from decorative arts history: antique malls, old dinner plate motifs, Victorian engravings, tapestries, cabinets of curiosities, and historical design booksAims for longevity over trendiness by incorporating nature, history, and universally understood imagery that won't feel dated in five yearsSays yes to nearly every good opportunity or repeat client because optimism about potential makes her reluctant to turn down work that could lead somewhere interestingFinds painting murals physically and mentally rewarding despite exhaustion—describes entering a "dance" with the medium where she feels the weight of paint and instinctively knows when to adjustWorks with tight timelines on international projects that have opened doors to larger clients and more challenging work beyond her local regionRefuses to use psychology as a design framework because she knows she'd "never emerge from that rabbit hole"—prefers intuitive creative decisionsCreates modular, adaptable designs that can work vertically and horizontally, extracted into standalone pieces—like visual puzzles requiring intense mental energyMost of her large-scale work is hidden inside buildings rather than public exterior murals, seen daily by employees in lobbies, conference rooms, and office spacesLearned to say no to projects she's not the right fit for but struggles to turn down work from valued clients or objectively good opportunitiesBelieves creativity-based work is safer than talent-based work in an AI-disrupted world because creativity requires constant reinvention and adaptation Daring Creativity.

Claire de Mézerville López welcomes IIRP alumnus Joseph Iacona to the Restorative Works! Podcast. We are joined by Joseph as he takes us behind the scenes of projects in schools, libraries, prisons, shelters, and behavioral health facilities, revealing how restorative practices create authentic collaboration between artists and communities. He shares powerful stories, including a mural co-created with youth aging out of the foster care system—a project that evolved into a living, breathing space of connection and care years after the paint dried. As a featured speaker at the IIRP's upcoming World Conference on Artful Integration, Joseph offers a preview of his presentation on the parallels between successful public art projects and restorative leadership. He issues a call to action for more intentional partnerships between artists and restorative practitioners to use art as a tool for authentic collaboration and social change. Joseph is a visual artist and restorative practitioner. He has initiated more than 100 community art projects in schools, libraries, museums, prisons, shelters, behavioral health facilities, and other public service centers. As the director of the Mural Arts Institute for Mural Arts Philadelphia, the United States' largest public art nonprofit, he develops resources on community driven mural-making for other artists and public art advocates around the world. Joseph holds a Master of Science in Restorative Practices with a specialization in Community Engagement from the IIRP and a Bachelor of Fine Art with concentrations in painting and art history from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania. He's an upcoming featured speaker at the IIRP's next World Conference on Artful Integration, Exploring the Art and Science of Restorative Practices.

In this week's episode of the Artist Academy podcast, we're diving into budget vs. luxury pricing language—and how the words you choose can either draw in high-value clients or unintentionally invite bargain-hunters. If you want to repel low-paying clients, avoid words like cheap, affordable, budget, quick fix. Replace them with words like investment, statement, signature, premium, transformative. What you don't want to use if aiming for high-paying customers: Quick and inexpensive way to add color. Murals are cheaper than professionally installed wallpaper! I can beat other artists' prices. Murals starting as low as $300. I'll make it work for you no matter what your budget is. We can keep it simple and affordable. Wording that positions you as a premium creative professional: Custom artwork designed to transform your space. Luxury murals that elevate environments and leave lasting impressions. One-of-a-kind, hand-painted murals tailored exclusively to your brand. A permanent investment in your space's identity and value. High-impact statement pieces that capture attention and admiration. Museum-quality finishes with durability that lasts for decades. Each design is created in collaboration with you, ensuring a truly bespoke result. Transform your blank walls into landmark destinations. I create immersive, large-scale art experiences that inspire and impress. This isn't just paint on a wall — it's an asset that adds cultural and financial value to your property. Instead of “cheap” → say “accessible entry point” (if you must talk about lower price).Instead of “affordable” → say “scalable depending on vision.”Instead of “decorate” → say “transform” or “elevate.”Instead of “price” → say “investment.”

Rodger Deevers knows he’s a lucky man. He’s a financial advisor in Eugene with all his basic needs met — and then some. But two years ago, after he and his wife took a vacation to the island of Curaçao off the Venezuelan coast, he wanted to bring some of the sense of community and vibrant public art back to the Eugene-Springfield area — and contribute to area nonprofits.    He says he didn’t know quite how to begin, so he just started with an idea for one mural, at nonprofit NextStep Recycling, and decided to see if people were interested in helping him paint it. Dozens of people showed up — and the nonprofit was thrilled to have a mural on a space that would otherwise have remained unadorned. Deevers calls the project Lucky Enough Social Club, and now has a system of sorts, and volunteers who show up to paint. But he does most of the legwork, outreach and designing of the mural, in collaboration with whatever nonprofit is getting painted.  He says he’s seen the transformative power of creativity in the people who show up to volunteer, and calling attention to mental health and suicide prevention is one of the biggest motivations driving him. We hear more from Deevers about the creation of the club and how he hopes to see it grow in the future.
