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

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
