We’re very excited to introduce Propeller’s second PODCAST in our series: BEYOND THE FRAME, featuring Michelle Letarte!
BEYOND THE FRAME features one-on-one inspiring interviews with Propeller artists, taking you inside the artists’ process; allowing the listener to hear first hand, the intimate stories behind the art!
Episode #2 Michelle Letarte
Michelle writes:
The podcast tells the story of how I started to paint, how it complemented my scientific career. I also talk about how travels inspire my artworks and create a focus for exhibitions, the experimental nature of my creative process, the use of textures, collages, rust imprints, photo-transfers and vivid acrylic colours.
“I want the viewers to discover the hidden secrets behind the images and share emotional moments of the journeys.”
Michelle Letarte
