The Creative Thread is a podcast about art, process, and the stories behind the work.

Hosted by photographer Meg Loeks, each episode explores what drives people to create: where ideas come from, how artists find their voice, and what keeps them going when the work feels uncertain.

Through conversations with artists and solo reflections, this podcast focuses on the in-between: the experimentation, the passion projects, and the quieter parts of building a creative life with intention.

In this inspiring interview, Vanessa Rivera shares her journey from childhood creativity to becoming a digital artist focused on storytelling, motherhood, and cultural influences. Discover how she finds inspiration in everyday moments, overcomes imposter syndrome, and plans her upcoming projects.

Meg Loeks shares her insights on the creative process, the importance of authenticity, and how nostalgia influences her work. She discusses the challenges of staying inspired, finding your style, and balancing technical skills with emotional expression.
