Magic Carpet Ride/ Trés & Helene Taylor

The Independent Artist Podcast

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. Each episode is a deep dive into a conversation with a guest artist who shares their unique experiences as an independent professional artist.
