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.
