THE ARTISH PLUNGE PODCAST
Exploring The Curious Relationship Between Artists And The Other Jobs, Professions Or Experiences That Have Allowed Them To Plunge Into The Art They Create
The ARTish Plunge™ podcast explores the curious relationship between Artists and the other professions, day jobs, or past experiences that have allowed them to plunge into the art they create.
Join me, Kristy Darnell Battani, as I visit Artists from around the globe to explore how their experiences outside the art world have impacted their creative work.
The ARTish Plunge™ podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google podcasts and most other podcast platforms. But if you follow along here from the podcast cast website you get the added bonus of seeing images of the guest Artists’ work.
MARYAM AMIRYANI: painter + public servant
With her hands in prayer, still life painter MARYAM AMIRYANI begins each day in her Marfa studio with the simple request: The courage to start; the courage to persevere; the courage to finish. From her childhood in Iran to Paris, Washington and New York, Maryam followed a professional career path in and around the arts, helping to show and sell other artists’ work before she finally settled into her own practice painting intimate oil paintings often influenced by textures and colors of her early years in Iran.

Do You Know An Artist With An Interesting Background?
Maybe YOU are an Artist with an interesting back story.
Don’t be shy — let me hear from you!
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.
