A love of research, words and print materials drives Austin-based, mixed media artist KRISTY DARNELL BATTANI’s textile inspired paintings and forms. The host and founder of the ARTish Plunge podcast discusses her art journey from intellectual property lawyer to full-time artist, her love of research, and her "deep dive" immersion into her source materials as part of an artist talk for her recent solo show “How To Be,” a collection of works inspired by thirteen self-help books that have defined our American values.

The ARTish Plunge podcast is a labor-of-love, staff-of-one project. For less than the cost of swim googles, you can help me “keep swimming” and hopefully help someone else take their own ARTish Plunge.
