Show Notes
Alexis chats with Chloe Mazzitelli, a painter from Lakes Entrance, East Gippsland, whose vibrant acrylic animal and pet portraits burst with colour and life. An “art-obsessed child” who studied Studio Arts and majored in Art History at the University of Melbourne, Chloe grew up surrounded by creativity thanks to her artist mum. After taking time away from painting to raise her three sons, she reignited her passion during the COVID-19 lockdowns and has been devoted to her art ever since. This conversation dives into her journey of rediscovery, balancing motherhood and creativity, and finding joy in returning to the canvas.
