Repurposing Materials & Exploring Renewal in My Art
In my art practice, I am constantly thinking about themes of renewal as I upcycle and repurpose collage scraps, art materials, and other objects that pass through my life. Today, while I explore a new type of composition in my handmade sketchbook, I'll tell you about why my resourceful approach to making is so meaningful to me as an artist and as a person in general.
And by the way, I have a new studio space! Which I'll show you briefly in the beginning of this session. I'm still settling in, but it's exciting nonetheless.
Cozy up, relax, and enjoy the process.

Calico Flower Studio is a space for reflecting on art + life through the lens of mixed media. I'm Dani Michaux Samson - your humble artist and host. I create abstract, analog mixed media collages with an array of materials that I have collected over the years.
On this channel, you will find that my process is laid back and light on the tutorial front. I'm more of a "think-out-loud" kinda gal. You might hear some tips on technique, but my ultimate goal is to bring you into the mind of an artist and provide a peaceful and thought-provoking experience. Sort of like an art vlog. No expertise necessary.
PS - All completed artworks are approved by my feline studio assistants, Dahlia and Clover. They will often stop by to check on me while I’m filming, so look out!
