The Hero’s Journey/ Trés & Helene Taylor
Explicit content warning
02/13/23 • 84 min
Trés Taylor https://www.trestaylor.com/ was a biochemist with a passion for writing. He was at a turning point in his life when a paintbrush fell from the sky and landed in his hand. The universe unfolded a path for him towards being an artist serendipitously at the time he met Helene. She "caught him" as he stepped into this new life, and together, they built a career as folk artists on a spiritual journey. This is the first part of a two-episode conversation that will inspire you to follow your own hero's journey through "rediscovering joy." In the preamble discussion, Douglas and Will discuss the Tuscon Gem Show, getting back to the glass studio, and jury bait.
Visual artists Douglas Sigwarth https://www.sigwarthglass.com/ and Will Armstrong http://www.willarmstrongart.com/ co-host and discuss topics affecting working artists. Each episode is a deep dive into a conversation with a guest artist who shares their unique experiences as an independent professional artist.

Spurred Me On/ Amy Flynn
It's every artist's nightmare to find that their work has been copied and stolen. Amy Flynn, https://fobots.bigcartel.com/, a mixed-media artist, describes how she navigated her way through that experience and how it "spurred her on" toward evolution. She talks about her time as an illustrator for Hallmark, as well as her connection to the theater. In the preamble discussion, Douglas and Will delve into topics related to Rick Rubin, AI art, collectors with cameras, and the ever-elusive "perfect" booth image.
Visual artists Douglas Sigwarth https://www.sigwarthglass.com/ and Will Armstrong http://www.willarmstrongart.com/ co-host and discuss topics affecting working artists. Each episode is a deep dive into a conversation with a guest artist who shares their unique experiences as an independent professional artist.

Next Episode

Magic Carpet Ride/ Trés & Helene Taylor
Trés & Helene Taylor https://www.trestaylor.com/ took a leap of faith in 2019 by relocating to Selma, Alabama, to further civil rights activism through their art. As they stood in the doorway of their home for the first time, they both cried, but for very different reasons. Helene expressed tears of joy, but for Trés, it was fear. In this episode, the Taylors share the "signs from the universe" that have directed them along the way, even during the difficult times when facing their mortality. These signs have served as encouragement to hop on that "magic carpet ride" and not look back.
In the preamble discussion, Douglas and Will discuss family distractions, exhibitor theft, reality show opportunities, and when your art is used for show publicity.
Visual artists Douglas Sigwarth https://www.sigwarthglass.com/ and Will Armstrong http://www.willarmstrongart.com/ co-host and discuss topics affecting working artists.
