New York Native, Contemporary Abstract, Expressionist Artist, Healer, Educator and Author Michelle Sakhai calls in to The Junk and Jam Hour to share her fascinating story of being of Persian and Japanese heritage, being a world-traveler since childhood, her journey as a scholar in the discipline of Fine Arts, to becoming a globally-renowned artist, represented by domestic and international galleries.
On topic is her early music studies as a Violinist, discovering her captivation with plein air painting, and evolving from painting mere landscapes, to becoming a fully-immersed, Transformative Artist.
Michelle explains her progression from using external inspiration - to channeling a range of her own inner-emotions to create the stellar work that she does - and the significance of having the freedom to just create, by letting herself go.
Also on topic is her incredible work as an educator, using art as a means for others to develop their own healing through traumas - for both adults and children - and discussing the need of making more art accessible for the blind and visually impaired.
