About Isle of View Arts
Michele Downie
Michele Downie is an intuitive artist, speaker, workshop leader, and founder of Isle of View Arts. Based in Pennsylvania, she creates original artwork and transformative experiences that help people reconnect with themselves through intuition, self-expression, and creativity.
A lifelong artist and creative professional, Michele earned a degree in Visual Communications from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh and has spent more than 25 years in design, branding, marketing, and visual storytelling. While creativity has always guided her, her art practice grew into a powerful path for self-discovery, healing, and authentic expression.
Inspired by nature, symbolism, emotion, spirituality, and the unseen connections that shape our lives, Michele creates intuitively. Each piece becomes a dialogue between the conscious and subconscious, revealing layers of meaning that often emerge long after the final brushstroke.
Through her paintings, workshops, speaking engagements, and writing, Michele encourages others to trust their intuition, embrace curiosity, and create without judgment. Her signature experience, Reconnect: An Intuitive Art Experience, helps participants quiet distractions and rediscover their inner voice through creativity.
Today, Michele’s artwork is featured in private collections and community spaces, and her workshops have appeared at leadership conferences, professional organizations, and retreats. Whether through a painting, a story, or a shared creative experience, her mission is the same: helping people find their way back to themselves.
Because sometimes the most meaningful journey isn’t discovering something new, t’s remembering who you’ve been all along.
Cameron Lee Downie
Cameron is a retired ballet dancer, who now finds joy in creating; music, woodworking, flow painting, macrame, and making super cool twisty walking sticks. "Learning how to craft a life anywhere starting with little more than my abilities was powerful in confidence building and a sprawling education about how exceptional, difficult, unique, and dramatically underestimated we humans are. I intended for my life to be what it is… And I’m here to continue to manifest more, like a wizard with the power of a long lost word."
Artist Statement
I create intuitive artwork that explores the spaces where emotion, symbolism, spirituality, and nature intersect. Guided by color, texture, and instinct rather than a predetermined outcome, each piece unfolds as a process of discovery.
My work reflects a belief that much of life is a journey of reconnection — returning to the parts of ourselves that have been forgotten, hidden, or overlooked. Through layered imagery and organic forms, I invite viewers to pause, reflect, and find their own meaning within the work.
For me, art is not about creating answers. It is about creating space for curiosity, awareness, and remembering who we are beneath the noise of everyday life.
