    24 | Embodying The Role with Lara Deam

    In this episode of Through the Creative Door, Alexis chats with Lara Deam, an Australian actress, dancer, director and writer based in Melbourne. Lara’s career spans film, television, theatre, commercials and presenting, with experience both in Australia and internationally, including time working and training in Canada. Before building her acting career, Lara spent almost 18 years as a professional classical ballerina across ballet, contemporary and jazz. She now brings that movement training and discipline into her screen and stage work, giving her a distinctive physical presence and versatility as a performer. Together, Alexis and Lara dive into her multi-disciplinary path, how dance continues to shape her creative process, and what it looks like to build a career across multiple artistic worlds.

    23 | I Just Paint What I Love with Chloe Mazzitelli

    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.   If you’d like to see more, you can follow on instagram; @chloemazzart This episode was recorded on 22nd October 2025 on the lands of the Kurnai Peoples.
