It’s Small Business Saturday! Support small businesses in your shopping this weekend.
I have my first BIG website update of the last few years live now. I still have a few items to add, but please feel free to visit studiomichaud.com and show this artist some love. 🫶🥰😉 by @studio_michaud

Surprise!
So many years of art here in my studio, and I simply am not able to store so much of it anymore in my tiny house. I keep making more and I'm not doing shows right now so I'm up to my eyeballs in artwork with nowhere to put it. 😬. My family is also planning a big move in a few years and *really* have to start lowering my inventory. 🤣 We can't take it all with us though we have pulled several pieces to keep permanently.

SO! Have a look! I'm also planning on a give away here in a few days. One of hopefully many to come. So be watching for that.

Let me know if you run into difficulties on my site. It's the first time I've set it up for that, so there may be bugs. 🫣
Happy Holidays everyone!🌲

I’m BAAAAACK!!!
It’s really been almost a year 😳😳😳 since I’ve been able to get myself & my studio up and working. Between moving into our new home and my husband’s sudden medical leave from May to now, I’ve not been able to spend as much time IN the studio but never fear, I’m back and I’ve been making big plans. I have a LOT of projects in the works and a ton ready to start. That’s how I work. I work in stages. I tend to start a bunch of things at once and bring them all along at a relatively similar pace. It helps my logical brain be organized and less scattered-shot.

One thing I’ve spend the last year doing in also evolving my art to add in more of the “mixed” part of my mixed media artwork. I am brining in a lot of glass. That has taken the better part of this year to accumulate. Glass is $$$$$, but at so beautiful. I’ll be incorporating mosaics into my wood pieces as well as having pure mosaics. The funnest part of mosaics for ME will be that a good portion of it will be usable inside AND outside! I love art in my yard and in my porch. I just very rarely see exactly what I want so true to artist form, I make it myself.💪

I promised this before, but I now have the ability to do it, I’ll be making videos and time process reels of my process. If there one thing I find more valuable than gold, it’s artists and crafts-people sharing their processes. Demystifying how things come to be, IMO, shouldn’t be gate-kept. I can respect others not wanting to invest the time and effort it takes to share, but I’m not at all interested in being a gate-keeper. One thing I think helps people during this terrifying time is making things. It’s not just the things you make, but the processes that are enjoyable.

So here we start. I’m sharing 2 of the many substrates I have started for pure mosaics into pieces. I’d like to share each stage as I can and I’ll start videos when I have a better flow going.

Thanks for hanging with me! Most of you following have followed me for decades now from model horses and I have every intention of doing LOTS of ponies in my new work as well.

Have a great Autumn (or Spring for the friends in the southern hemisphere. by @studio_michaud

It’s with great sadness that I share that I have had to let my coveted space at this year’s Art Fair on the Square festival In Madison Wisconsin next month. My husband is a vital part of my being able to do that show and he’s spent about 3 weeks in the hospital in the last month for a very serious infection in his leg. He required 3 surgeries on his ankle and now cannot put ANY weight on that leg for a few months at minimum. I simply don’t have the physical ability to pack up a show and put it on all by myself. It’s an incredibly grueling process, but with help, the rewards of seeing my artwork brighten so many lives is worth it. I just can’t do it alone. I dearly hope to be lucky enough to be juried in next year and be back to normal.

Thusly, I will be offering pieces for sale online as I complete and have them photographed. But until I can. I hope you al have a wonderful summer, and you’ll be seeing me here in Insta and Facebook soon-ish. 😢🥹 by @studio_michaud

At least one area of the house is finally looking like a home. 🏠 😍 Pay no attention to the not yet styled florals. 🤣 by @studio_michaud

The realtor was driving by as we were out bringing stuff in and trying to chip away at the ice on our driveway so she took a pic for us. How Brian’s head is framed is hilarious. I’ll get a nice pic this spring once we get a lawn and they finish painting our garage doors. All that stuff they couldn’t do outside once it got cold.

We still can’t believe this is our home. It’s HUGE and beautiful inside.🩷🩷🩷 by @studio_michaud
