Defend The Darkroom: Michelle Forsyth

  By Ryley Smith

 

Defend the Darkroom is back and in this episode, Paulette Michayluk interviews Michelle Forsyth about how Michelle approaches her practice and life. Blown away by the complexity of Michelle’s work and the thoughtfulness she brings to all parts of her art and life, this is a great start to a new year of DTD!

We all give ourselves excuses to not achieve… But do we ever give ourselves reasons to succeed?

Michelle Forsyth is an incredible inspiration for me. She is unstoppable in her studio practice – she supports and encourages a new generation of artists in her teaching practice – she is so positive and enthusiastic about life.

I am blown away by the complexity of her work and the thoughtfulness she brings to all parts of her art and life. It was so amazing to speak with her about her life and how she approaches her practice.

A huge thank you to Alicia Bojkov from the Corkin Gallery (corkingallery.com) for suggesting I connect with Michelle!”
