The Art and Life Podcast launched in 2020 out of Taylor’s desire to connect with art on a different level. The main concept is that we’re all artists, no matter what background or discipline we come from or work in. Season 1 ended with 53 episodes and Season 2 is shaping up to be even more prolific. The Art and Life podcast is an experiment in the form of audio, much like Taylor’s art is an experiment in the forms of Drawing and Painting.

Season Four

The Art and Life Podcast - Season 4 is live and underway with brand new episodes from talented creatives from various backgrounds.  Check it out wherever you get your podcasts and give them a listen.

Art and Life Podcast launched in 2020 out of Taylor’s desire to connect with and express art on a different level.  There are people from all walks of life, from all backgrounds.  Art is all around us, all the time; we just need to know how to see it.  We are all creative in our own ways, bringing art to our pursuits and professions. The Art and Life podcast is an artistic exploration and experiment in an audio format that focuses on the art and philosophy involved with different people and their life paths.

Be prepared to be inspired as we discover that it is possible to make a living from art, skill, craft, or vision, whatever that may be. 

Check out the episodes below, or you can find us and listen on whatever platform you listen to podcasts on.
