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.
CLIFFORD BUNN: portraitist + police officer
What’s it like to be a “non-traditional” art student at age 55? For Texas-based portrait painter CLIFFORD BUNN, seeking a BFA in Studio Art after a career in law enforcement with the Oakland PD was both cathartic and the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. Initially turning to art as a way of dealing with grief, Cliff eventually decided to seek a degree in Studio Art at the University of Texas. Cliff shares his fascinating journey from the streets of Oakland to art school critiques, as he begins the next phase of life as a working artist.
