Ep 46 Michaye Boulter

Michaye is a painter whose evocative seascapes and atmospheric horizons capture the delicate balance between isolation and connection. 

She was born in Brisbane and at a very early age moved to Tasmania’s wild southern coastlines. Her father was a fisherman, and this meant Michaye’s life was sailing, fishing, and living close to water. These early experiences instilled in her a profound sensitivity to the ocean’s moods and mysteries, which would later become central to her visual language. 

Her works often explore the human experience of solitude within nature’s immense presence, rendered through subtle layers of oil that convey both stillness and movement. 

It’s been said that her paintings invite contemplation and quiet emotion, and my recent viewing of her works would definitely confirm that.
