SELLEST OSAST
Host becomes guest in this special episode of Lattes & Art, presented by J-Squared Atelier.
With Madame B’s Tarot Readings invited into Sanctuary at the Cloverdale Arts Alliance, the tables get turned as Gallery Director Will McCoy steps in to interview our own James William Moore about the strange, campy, theatrical, and deeply personal world behind Madame B.
Together, they explore the creative sparks that shaped the series, the role of performance and self-portraiture in James’ work, and how tarot became both visual language and mirror. The conversation drifts through fear, camp & humor, identity, storytelling, and the complicated reality that is created when self-portraiture isn't actually about the one in the portrait.
Part artist interview, part behind-the-curtain conversation, this episode offers listeners a rare chance to hear the creator of Lattes & Art step into the guest chair and unpack the creative process behind one of his most personal bodies of work.
So light a candle, shuffle the deck, and settle in for a conversation about intuition, creativity, camp, and the beautifully messy act of making art.
Be sure to check out Cloverdale Arts Alliance where Sanctuary is showing through July 12, 2026.
