Unlock the secrets of a life dedicated to art and spirituality with our special guest, Tom Wachunas, a recently retired art history teacher and a vibrant force in the Stark County art scene. As a creator and critic with decades of experience, Tom shares his journey from a young fourth grader experimenting with mixed media to a respected artist with a powerful voice on his blog, ArtWach.
You'll be inspired by Tom's reflections on how art and spirituality intertwine, lending depth and meaning to his work, including his current exhibition "Spiritual Tableaux." His journey is a testament to resilience and passion, offering valuable insights for both budding and seasoned artists alike.
Join us as Tom takes us through his transformative years, from his days as a self-defined “hippie” art student to a period of artistic hiatus, and ultimately, his triumphant return to creating. The episode offers a rich tapestry of stories, including a heartfelt realization about a song lyric meant for a former lover that now speaks volumes to him personally. We explore how Tom's art makes powerful use of found objects, giving them new life and context that evoke emotional and spiritual narratives. Don't miss the chance to learn about Tom's dynamic career and find out how you can connect with him and his work on various platforms.
