About this listen

In this heart-centered episode, we sit down with the incredibly talented Michelle "Meish" Claus of Made by Meish to explore the magic woven through her art. From the textures of tree bark to the quiet inspiration of fungi, Meish shares how nature, identity, and healing intersect in her creative world. We dive into the stories behind her whimsical characters, many of which emerge from the grief of losing beloved animal companions—transforming sadness into soulful expressions of love and connection. We also talk about the joy of watching people interact with her art at local events, what it was like participating in the Fayetteville Art Showdown hosted by Love Hope Arts, and how being a queer artist in Appalachia shapes her mission of inclusivity and visibility. This episode is a celebration of presence, playfulness, and the power of art to spark meaningful connections. ✨ Whether you're an artist, a nature lover, or someone navigating grief and creativity—this conversation is sure to resonate.
