On a crisp fall day in late October, I ventured to Brooklyn for a studio visit with Will Watson, a visual artist I met a few months earlier at where else? an art show! Will and I sat down the weekend after his birthday to discuss the connection between mental health and art, the power of work ethic, and the gifts we stand to gain from knowing our history. From the moment I stepped into his studio, Will’s playful vibe and colorful work meant I couldn’t stop smiling.

In this episode, we go behind the scenes in Will’s studio. Plus, he offers a sneak peek into his new coloring book, Artistic Legacies, which is a heartfelt gift for all ages. Subscribe to the Black Star Reviews YouTube channel to be notified as soon as new episodes are posted!
