Painting Your Path with Artist & Mentor Michelle Armas
Episode 28
Thursday, 10 September, 2026
This season is dedicated to Eaton Fire Survivors, caregivers, and the community groups supporting Altadena and Pasadena. Even though Michelle isn’t from my area, her mentorship has been a steady, grounding presence as I’ve navigated my vocal condition, the grief of losing my dad, and the impact of the fire on my community.In this conversation with abstract artist and mentor Michelle Armas, we explore what it really means to paint your path:How Michelle went from a high-pressure graphic design job at Landor to building a long-term abstract painting career, one small step at a time.Why she believes art is mostly inner work, and how that perspective has helped me keep creating in the middle of grief and uncertainty.The heart behind Paint Week and Catalyst Academy, and why those spaces feel so welcoming for people who’ve been told their creativity isn’t “practical enough.” How making art can become both a sanctuary and a mirror when you’re healing from loss or moving through big life shifts.I share a bit about how joining Michelle’s community and doing Paint Week gave me structure, play, and a sense of possibility at a time when so much felt heavy.If you’re curious about abstract art, craving a creative community, or wondering if art could actually support your healing, this episode is for you.👉 Listen now and, if it resonates, consider joining me for Michelle’s next Paint Week to explore your own creative path.Connect with Michelle:Join me and Michelle in Paint Week Sept 21-25Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michellearmas007Connect with Clarissa:Sept 12th in-person Movement + Meditative Art at Buzzworthy Beverages in Claremont, CA: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/movement-meditative-art-tickets-1999131560312Sept. 20th in-person vision board workshop at The Hive, South Pasadena.
