The Art of Billy Martinez

Our first story highlights a Nashville artist whose beautiful works range in size from something you could hang on your wall, to the wall itself. Billy Martinez isn't your everyday visual artist, he's also a performer. And his canvas and stage is legendary Printers Alley.

Rob Wilds has been a part of the Tennessee Crossroads family since 1993. As one of our most frequent producers, and the recipient of several journalism awards throughout his various careers, Rob finds that the best reward for his work is meeting the fascinating people and visiting the interesting places he encounters in his travels. A presence in television, radio and print reporter for more than 20 years, Rob is a teacher, writer, producer and director as well as an actor (with appearances in feature films, television shows and on stage).
