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.
BLAKE GORE: miniature artist + career consultant

Originally from Mississippi and serving as a career consultant by day, Blake explains how constraints, repetition and infinite curiosity are powerful tools for creative success.
ARIELLE AUSTIN: painter + retail design

TAMIKO BRAUN: abstract painter + international consultant
The ARTish Plunge podcast explores how Munich-based artist TAMIKO BRAUN transitioned from international consulting and marketing to the vibrant, texture-laden artwork she creates today.
