Prompted by a quote from Cezanne: ‘The most seductive thing about art is the personality of the artist himself’, Michelle and her guest, Liz Ackerley, a mixed media abstract artist from the UK, discuss the pursuit of our creative identity in our work. The questioning of our interests, focus and intent within our artwork is an important part of coming to understand our identity as an artist.
