Sounds from the Studio: Archive This! Ep. 4 – Michelle Gamm Clifton

Posted on July 22, 2026 by Kathryn Shriver

In this inspiring episode of Sounds from the Studio, host Sydney Leslie sits down with the multifaceted artist, Michelle Clifton. Known for her innovative soft sculpture creations and her pioneering
work in sound healing, Michelle shares her journey from a young artist in Chicago to a renowned figure in the art and film industries.

Discover the story behind her iconic sneaker bed, a piece that has traveled the world and even caught the attention of Swedish tennis legend Bjorn Borg. Michelle also reflects on her experiences as a documentary film
producer, sharing insights from her extensive career alongside her husband at the Hudson River Film and Video Company. Listeners will be captivated by Michelle’s transition into the world of sound healing, where she uses the power of sound to bring relaxation and healing to veterans, autistic adults, and many others. Learn about the profound effects of sound healing and its ability to transform lives through the soothing vibrations of singing bowls.
