True Story # 94 Baley Bodden Baley Bodden is a Nashville/New York based, self-taught artist who is held to be Nashville's up and coming face of not only intimate pop art but a trail blazer in the feminine NFT space. As a powerhouse female artist and an avant-garde in all facets of social media marketing, she has formed into a global brand and uses her art to embody one to be unapologetic, sexy, and authentic. Bodden is paving the oh so glamorous passage ode to pop art for generations to come. Bodden recently debuted her solo exhibition show in New York City, "In The Mood,” featuring muted pieces that convey sensual experiences taking the traditional shame away from the visceral moment. A few of her one of one pieces have been exclusively held from her solo Meatpacking show for their launch at the KAF exhibition in Seoul, Korea. During her month long stay in NYC, she emulated pieces that conveyed commitment though intimacy, which many will say is lost in our day in time. Baley Bodden aspires to make an impact on lives throughout the world from Nashville to New York City to Seoul to Paris. Bodden wants to create a fortress of artistic messages to today's society establishing that commitment and loyalty are sexy.

By shining light on these other stories of evil, we strive to foster healing.” Outside of podcasting, Gentile is also an actor, model, and sandal designer with her husband Gino.
