Drawing a Life in Color: Megan Seiter on Art, Patience, and Process

In this intimate and reflective episode of the AART Podcast, host Chris Stafford sits down with American color pencil artist Megan Seiter for a deeply personal conversation about life, creativity, and the quiet dedication behind her work. Known for her richly layered drawings and extraordinary attention to detail, Seiter shares the story of how she found her voice as an artist—and why patience, persistence, and curiosity continue to shape her practice. Rather than focusing on technique, this biographical episode explores who Megan Seiter is as an artist and a person. She talks openly about her early influences, the moments that pushed her toward art, and the internal challenges that come with choosing a creative life. Seiter reflects on the slow, meditative nature of working in color pencil, how time plays a role in her process, and what it means to stay committed to a medium that demands both restraint and devotion. Throughout the conversation, Megan discusses the realities of sustaining a career in the arts, navigating doubt, and learning to trust long-form creative work in a fast-paced world. Her story is one of intentional making, artistic integrity, and embracing the beauty that emerges through repetition and care. This episode of the AART Podcast is a thoughtful listen for artists, creatives, and anyone interested in the human stories behind visual art—especially those drawn to drawing, realism, and the quieter paths of creative expression.

She makes very witty and realistic tromp l’oeil still life paintings.  Clio Newton, who makes large-scale figure drawings and paintings. I admire the delicacy of her strokes and the sheer size of her work, and the fact that she doesn’t just work in a single medium. • Carla Grace, who is a wildlife artist. One thing I’ll say I really appreciate about social media is that you can now easily connect with people and work from all over the world. I think that Carla Grace does this so well, sharing her studio and her techniques freely, engaging her audience, and sharing about being both a mother and an artist.  Amy Shelton, who I met at a group exhibit we were both participating in. She makes delicate an intricate compositions using dried flowers that are displayed in light boxes — very unique and beautiful.
