This episode concludes the “Letters” mini-podcast. Based on their collaborative visual arts project “Letters to Our Unborn Children: An Exploration of a Woman’s Decision to Remain Child-Free by Choice,” hosts Sarah Saturday and Tarri Driver reflect on their podcast journey.
Tarri Driver is a lifelong creative artist with a wide range of independent, academic, professional and therapeutic arts experience. Her decade of work as an art therapist in Nashville (in public schools and a children’s hospital) — along with her experience teaching college-level art therapy courses and later years as an independent art instructor—inform both her worldview and her art. Since relocating from Nashville to a small town in East Tennessee, she has retired from her career as an art therapist and re-embraced artmaking from her home studio, where she writes, illustrates, publishes original work, designs commissions and devises new creative projects. Forthcoming works include writing and illustrating the third children’s book in her Lunar Mooner Lula series, and a new book of short stories for adults, (working title) Pursuing Terra Firma.
Sarah Saturday is an innovative musician and multimedia performance artist based in Nashville, TN. Over the past 15 years, Sarah has made a name for herself with her boundary-pushing artistic expression, combining music, film, dance, spoken word, and visual art into immersive, interdisciplinary experiences. Her work spans numerous albums, film scores, and performance pieces, and she has collaborated extensively with artists across mediums. A 2024 recipient of the Tennessee Arts Commission Individual Artist Fellowship, Sarah’s work is celebrated for its emotional depth, conceptual richness, and striking visual language. Since 2007, she has performed over 200 shows throughout the U.S. and Canada, with her music featured in films, TV shows, and commercials. Her film scoring credits include the Discovery Channel’s Dark Side of the Sun and the independent film Superpowerless. After relocating from Los Angeles to Nashville in 2012, Sarah expanded her artistic practice by incorporating film and choreography into her live performances. Her latest project, Voyage, premiered to sold-out audiences in Nashville (2023) and Los Angeles (2024).
