Episode 9 - The No-Plan Plan

Mar 9

In this episode of The Velvet Hour, we sit down with artist and photographer Taylor O’Sullivan inside her Laguna Beach gallery to talk about her creative evolution — from accidentally discovering film in high school, to working in documentaries and production around the world, to building a body of fine art photography rooted in nature, stillness, and observation.

Taylor shares how travel, film photography, and a willingness to follow intuition led her to create work that invites us to slow down and notice the beauty in life’s smaller moments. We talk about her “no-plan plan,” shooting on film, the emotional experience of seeing her work on a gallery wall, and why nature is the through line in everything she creates.

This conversation is about creative courage, surrender, and finding your own velvet hour.
