Visual Identity Takes Shape: Jess Shadrick Creates Original Artwork

The Storied Song podcast is getting its visual identity! We're delighted to announce that artist Jess Shadrick will be creating original artwork for our project, including a custom poster design that captures the essence of our Appalachian storytelling mission.

Shadrick's artistic vision will help convey the rich cultural heritage and living tradition that our podcast seeks to celebrate. Her original drawing will serve as the visual cornerstone for the series, reflecting both the historical depth and contemporary relevance of Appalachian balladry.

This visual component is essential to our goal of making these traditional stories accessible and engaging for modern audiences. Just as we're adapting ballads into radio plays with original music, Shadrick's artwork will provide a visual entry point that honors the tradition while speaking to today's listeners.

We can't wait to share her work with you as we continue developing this unique celebration of Appalachian storytelling heritage.
