This Week Michael Norman Gute, fundraiser by day and up-and-coming Detroit painter by night. He talks about his day gig informing his artistry and how it all works together for good.I use painting, drawing, and scratching veiled over one another to build an accumulation of experience and memory. I’m aware of my intuition and appreciate how the body and mind work in choreography to mark the surface. Paintings validate the artist’s body. They are products of our performance as well as reinforcements of hope and faith. Hope stays the artist through the working of a painting and faith tells them it’s finished. Website: https://www.guteworks.comInstagram: @MNGUTE Facebook: https://.facebook.com/michael.gute.50https://embracecreatives.com/This podcast is sponsored byMichigan ArtShareJazz Alliance of Mid-Michigan J.A.M.M.Shambones MusicTo become a sponsor for this podcast, go to the Patreon link below.https://www.patreon.com/TiaTime1Produced by Green Bow Music
