Episode description

In this episode of the SCBWI Podcast, we are joined by Richard Jesse Watson!

Port Townsend painter, illustrator, and sculptor, Richard Jesse Watson, has received numerous awards and several of his books were New York Times Bestsellers. His paintings hang in museums, corporate and private collections internationally. 

Watson is an accomplished artist and perpetual experimenter. He often breaks out of boxes in his quest for originality. 

"His work is a process of thinking: …to balance and nod to the extremes on either end of an idea.” Kristin Tollefson, Bainbridge Island Museum of Art.

“I love being in this zone coaxing dreams into reality or caressing reality back into a dream.”
