Who is Alease Michelle?
Alease considers herself a collage architect. She has always been drawn to the process of creating beautiful things from found objects and sees inspiration all around. Her passion is to breathe new life into bits and pieces of old, worn and forgotten elements and incorporate them into her work. She enjoys implying the rough outline of a story with the images she chooses and by the bits of ephemera she adds.
Alease’s love for family history led her to explore photos as another way to share life stories and family experiences. She believes that her combined art forms, put simply, are a celebration of family and life. Her passion for family history has allowed her to construct compositions made from fragments of different photos, objects and letters to tell their unique stories. Her work further allows the viewer to create their own stories about the families and the people who grace their lives.
She continues to nuture her passion for creating beautiful things by teaching others what she loves.
- As an expert, Alease lends knowledge to the press, editorials and serves as a subject-matter expert. She is a sought-after presenter in the areas of creative marketing, personal image, branding and fashion.
- As a professor, Alease is committed to her student’s education, furthering their exposure and considers their success a direct reflection of herself.
- As a mixed-media artist, Alease participated in several exhibitions. Wishing to market her artistic endeavors, she found little advice available. This, coupled with her passion for education – she tracked her online marketing & branding journey and founded The School of Creative Business.
The Why
This blog is very special because when I started my artist career in 2006 there wasn't much advice or resources for creative professionals that was current with what was happening on social networks. Over the years I chronicled all the different things I've done to transform my creative artist life into a creative entrepreneur.
The School of Creative Business is for Creative People ...
- who have jobs, make a living and still can't seem to find their way how to start a creative business.
- who want and dream of starting a creative business but just don't know how to get started.
- who are ready to turn their lives around and finally have a creative business that's successful and thriving
- who has stacks and stacks of business, marketing books, videos and magazines and still don't know how to start a creative business
If you're creative entrepreneur who's ready to take action and eager to learn, you can go through my journey and learn what's working for me. All my blog content is completely free and available 24/7.
