S5 - Episode 1 - Don't Hold Back

Lewis Rossignol is a widely known and followed artist who makes his entire living off of his work, often on commissions, and has Tourette Syndrome at the core of it. Art was his way. On this episode, Lewis discusses what's behind his work, why Tourette is so connected to it, his decision to make art his career without spoiling what he loves about it, and advice to the younger creatives listening. Lately, he's been selling prints from his sketchbook and giving proceeds to fight hunger during the pandemic. We also hear from listeners (send a voice note to tourettespodcast@gmail.com to have it played on the show) and update you on the Tourette Association of America's accessible backup plan after having to cancel its annual conference (per COVID-19). @lewisrossignol on Instagram Lewis Rossignol Art Thumbnail: A Visual Arts Podcast touretteconference.org with info on the Virtual Conference tourette.org
