In this deeply personal episode of Plumbing Around, Scott Thornton sits down with his favorite artist, Sharon Daugherty, for a powerful conversation about creativity, culture, healing, and the stories we carry.
From growing up in Philly surrounded by music, graffiti, and layered city walls — to designing the cover for Scott’s poetry book — Sharon shares how art becomes a voice when words are not enough.
They dive into:
👉 How childhood shapes creative identity
👉 Why layers matter — in cities, people, and art
👉 The connection between poetry, painting, and music
👉 Using creativity as a tool for healing and self-discovery
👉 What it means to be a spirit having a human experience
This episode is about more than plumbing. It’s about life.
