  • Creating with Purpose, Sharing Important Stories and Embracing Artistic Power with Michael Carini

    Creating with Purpose, Sharing Important Stories and Embracing Artistic Power with Michael Carini
    Dec 4 2025
    On this episode of the We Are Artists Podcast, host Shannon Shine is joined once again by abstract artist and creative advocate Michael Carini for a heartfelt, honest, and empowering conversation. Michael shares how he’s turned personal grief and life experience into creative fuel — not just to express emotion, but to connect, advocate, and inspire. Together, Shannon and Michael explore what it truly means to use your art as a platform — to speak truth, to build connection, and to empower both the artist and the audience.

    🎧 In This Episode, We Dive Into:
    • How grief and personal loss shaped Michael’s art and deepened his sense of purpose — including the recent loss of a close friend
    • When it’s okay to work for free, and how to discern whether an opportunity truly supports your long-term creative vision
    • The importance of self-promotion and learning to be your own advocate as an artist in an evolving industry
    • Galleries vs. going solo — the risks, rewards, and how to align your work with spaces that match your energy
    • Mental health and artistic expression — how art can be a lifeline for those navigating dark or difficult emotions

    Nov 19 2025
    In this powerful episode of We Are Artists, host Shannon Shine sits down with Amy Funderburk, a visionary artist known for her emotionally rich painting installations and explorations of the spiritual and emotional realms through art. Together, we explore:
    • The intense creative and emotional labor behind large-scale installations
    • Her latest projects Excavations and The Portal, both supported by North Carolina arts councils and driven by themes of emotional archeology and transformation
    • The process of revisiting and revising older works, and why not dating your art can give it new life
    • The evolving journey of visionary art, and how Amy blends 2D and 3D experiences to bridge the physical with the fluid
    • Thoughts on longevity in creative careers and making space for deeply emotional bodies of work to unfold over time
    Amy’s art invites us to step into the threshold between worlds — the tangible and the unseen, the personal and the collective, the wounded and the transformed. 🎧 Listen now: [Insert Spotify or podcast link]
