Made to Make

Made to Make (formerly Painterly Life) is a podcast series about creativity across disciplines—and the resilience it takes to keep going.

On this channel, you’ll find honest conversations with artists, musicians, songwriters, photographers, producers, and makers of all kinds as they share their creative process, personal challenges, and what keeps them creating through uncertainty, doubt, and change.

This isn’t about hacks, overnight success, or perfect routines. It’s about the real work of living a creative life—the setbacks, breakthroughs, persistence, and the deeply human pull to make things.

If you’re a creative navigating the long road, questioning your path, or looking for meaningful conversations about art and life, you’re in the right place.

🎨 Expect stories that heal, tips that empower, and creative energy to fuel your soul.
🖌️ New episodes on the first and third Thursday of the month—because every guest is a new muse, just for you.

Deborah Pepin

Deborah Pepin was born and raised in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. She is a self-taught artist and has always considered herself a creative. She is well known for her abstracts, which she calls "Doodles". She loves the process of creating these unique abstracts, which often relieves the daily stressors. She calls this "yoga for the Mind".

Deborah also works in oils and pastels and found her love of the pastel medium in late 2016. She can often be found plein air painting in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, deserts, and the Central Coast of California. It's the beauty of nature that inspires her work today.
