S2E4 Mia Bergeron
 
Creative Contemplation podcast host & creator, Suzanne Lago Arthur has a delightful and deep conversation with oil painter Mia Bergeron about her classical training and her "shift" into the unique artistic style she has today.  Suzanne and Mia discuss the importance of intuition in her working process, how she developed it and how you can begin to recognize it in your own work - allowing you to unlock your own creative potential.

Bio:

Mia Bergeron’s interest in art began early in life, being exposed to art on a daily basis through life in New York City and through her parents' graphic design firm. Mia went on to attend the Rhode Island School of Design in 1998, but decided to leave to pursue a more traditional painting education. She attended and taught at the Charles H Cecil Studio in Florence, Italy from 2002-2005. She has pursued figurative painting professionally since leaving Italy, and her work is collected throughout the United States and Europe. She has received numerous awards, including two years as a juried finalist in the Portrait Society of America’s International Figurative Competition, was voted “Top Ten Modern Portrait Artists” by One Fine Bid, and in 2009 was named “20 Artists Under 30 to Collect Now” by SouthWest Art Magazine. She is represented by Robert Lange Studios in Charleston, SC and Gallery 1261 in Denver CO.
