I finally started letting the cat out of the bag on a project that has been in the works since late 2017. I started up a new artist podcast called Art Life Confidential and by the time of this blog post it's only about 2 episodes in. It's a podcast directed at other artists who are kind of in the same boat as me: in that liminal stage between obscure artist and "making it." This is a side project that I hope other creatives can connect with. I also hope that doing this will be able to spark a continuous dialogue about all of the things that we have to face when attempting to prioritize our creative selves as adults.The podcast is now available to stream on iTunes, Soundcloud and Stitcher - so take your pick! Visit artlifeconfidential.com to learn more about the podcast and the vision. The intro episode is below:
Cover Art: "Love" by The John Whites
Recently I had the pleasure of doing the cover art for the single, Love, by The John Whites. Their latest album, Music, Magic, Mischief, Mayhem, is now available for streaming and download via thejohnwhites.com. It's a massive album consisting of 33 original songs, trekking through all the highs and lows that one endures in the name of love. Perfect for lazy Sunday afternoons or those moments when you want to be all in your feelings. Get a sneak peek below then get a copy for yourself.

Summer Artist Residency at The Torpedo Factory
It's been a while but I am BACK! After several weeks away from my home in Reno, making art and taking names at my artist residency in Virginia, I think I've finally re-entered the atmosphere. The last 2-3 months have been so hectic, emotional and eye-opening. I would love to get into everything and catch you up on what I've seen, what I've done and what I've learned. That will be in a much meatier blog post that's on the way, so please be on the lookout for that. For now, I will share with you the 3-part vlog series that covered some of my time at the Torpedo Factory in August. It goes into some of my first thoughts about the art center, shares some of my new work and gives a look in and around the art center itself. All three videos are here below for you to enjoy, and when you're done you can also find other vlogs about my art life on my YouTube channel, Traci L. Turner Art. So be sure to catch what you've missed and subscribe so you can keep up with the posts. If you see something you like let me know!
