In this illuminating conversation, writer and creative Tiffany Smith joins host James William Moore to explore the messy, beautiful process of becoming your authentic self. From filtering our lives to fit expectations to learning how to silence inner critics, Tiffany shares her journey toward creative freedom—one rooted in vulnerability, healing, and radical self-acceptance.

Together, they discuss the courage it takes to be you, how to stop chasing perfection, and why true art often begins when we let go of control. Tiffany also opens up about her upcoming short film, her philosophy of turning the invisible into the visible, and how re-parenting ourselves as adults can unlock our most powerful creative voices.

A soulful, inspiring episode that reminds us: your story matters, your light has value, and imperfection is where real artistry begins.

Step inside infinity.

In this episode of Lattes & Art, host James William Moore takes you into the mirrored universe of Yayoi Kusama — the groundbreaking artist whose dazzling Infinity Mirror Rooms blur the line between beauty and madness, freedom and confinement.

From her childhood visions of endless dots to her self-imposed life in a Tokyo psychiatric hospital, Kusama has spent a lifetime turning obsession into art and trauma into transcendence.

Her reflections became a language — one that now speaks to millions around the world.

Discover the paradox at the heart of her work — the divine mess behind the masterpiece — and how the artist who once feared disappearing became one of the most visible figures in contemporary art.

In this episode of Lattes & Art, host James William Moore sits down with emerging artist Read Brown as she prepares for her debut exhibition, Saturation, at Impell Gallery.

Read’s journey into art is as unexpected as it is inspiring. She discovered photography as both a healing practice and a way of seeing the world anew. From decisive moments like her striking portrait Maria, to abstractions that transform everyday objects into painterly images, her work invites us to pause, look closer, and find beauty in the overlooked.

Together, James and Read discuss creativity born from life’s upheavals, the vulnerability of stepping into the identity of “artist” for the first time, and how art can reflect both the inner self and the outside world.
