About Michelle
Colors can influence our feeling and perspective. This is why I mostly choose bright and warm colors for my paintings, to evoke positive emotions.
Biography
I am a contemporary artist from Massachusetts, a signature member of the National Association of Women Artists (NAWA), a member of the New England Art Center (NEAC) and TAG The Art Gallery in SoWa, Boston's Art + Design District, and an executive member of the Gallery 1202 Collective. My bold and colorful paintings have been exhibited internationally in galleries, stores, restaurants, hospitals, private collections, libraries, offices, on 1stDibs and on Artsy. I am also the author of the Cooper the Dog children's book series, attorney, and mother of five. Although not inherently brave, I have donated a kidney and walked on fire.
Artist Statement
My paintings are about capturing the energy of life. I want my viewers to feel a sense of happiness when they see my work.
Painting is a form of meditation, and my creative force is grief. I have found that immersing myself into creating art has helped me throughout my journey of healing.
The process and the vivid colors boost me to a more optimistic state of mind. My primary process is intuitive and spontaneous, guided by the energy of the moment. Sometimes I convey my message with words in my paintings. When craving a more focused approach, I create landscapes and geometric abstracts. Circles symbolize an eternal rhythm of revitalization. Every challenge or misstep we encounter marks another revolution around the circle. Through these cycles, we have the opportunity to grow from our experiences and continue progressing. Setbacks and failures should not be viewed as obstacles, but rather as stepping stones along our journey of personal development.
