Sam Michelle - Artist

Today on the podcast I speak to the delightful Sam Michelle – a New Zealand born artist who has lived in Melbourne Australia since 2001.Sam’s practice is based on still life, building compositions & stories using her ever growing collection of ceramics & textiles. As well as creating the most beautiful paintings, Sam enjoys growing her own flowers in ever expanding cottage garden. She then uses flowers in her work to tell her story by styling her compositions with personality & gesture.Sam’s work is just incredible, the level of detail, depth, colour and texture is just amazing. I love every piece she produces, so when I discovered she was a friend of the podcast, I had to get her on. As you know I love talking to artists, I’m obsessed with learning how they got to the point where they realized that being an artist could be a full-time career and what this looks like ‘as a business’. After talking to Sam I was beyond inspired, she was wonderfully candid and open her journey from the finance world to the hard work and dedication it takes to work as a painter. I know you will enjoy our conversation as much as I did!To be inspired by Sam's beautiful work, visit sammichellepaintings.com or find her on Instagram @sammichellepaintings For more podcast information visit supercreativepodcast.com Hosted by Catie DawsonBought to you by Somewhere CreativeFind us on Instagram - @supercreativepodcastFor more podcast information visit supercreativepodcast.com Hosted by Catie DawsonBought to you by Somewhere CreativeFind us on Instagram - @supercreativepodcast Hosted on Acast.
