ARTISTIC MISSION To bring peace, joy, and positive energy to our world thru my creative talents. SHORT BIO Michele combines her 2-D & 3-D technical, artistic, literary, and research skills, to create one-of-a-kind contemporary paintings & commissions including cutting-edge experimental abstract and modern. She also explores poetic graffiti art in many of her recycled mixed-media creations. Michele's painting passion began as a young child. She received her first Art Award at age 6 and had her first artistic memory of being a painter at age 4. She studied at Orange County Museum of Art, a variety of universities, and under the guidance of a few talented fine artists; however, she feels her best works exhibit painting from her intuitive spirit. Along with painting, she keeps a daily Art journal which includes extensive notes on her painting dreams, as well as poetry and thoughts inspired by her love of art. CURRENT MAIN INFLUENCES: My near death experience, nature, and poetry. My mother gave me the gift of looking at the world thru the creative intuitive & my father gave me the gift of looking at the world thru the linear technical. My spiritual life has influenced me tremendously & allowed me to trust both these left & right brain processes that synergistically work in harmony to produce the original works. DEFINING MOMENTS: One of my mother's dreams was to be a professional artist, but she lacked confidence in herself and her talent. Before she passed away, she told me that she felt as if she had never "really lived". This had a profound impact on my life. Four years after her passing, I had a near death experience & miracle consciousness, which re-defined my courage & contribution to our world. |
