Renee Michele
I am deeply interested in subjects around the natural environment, social equality and spirituality on a broader scale. I love to explore what oil paints can do with brushes, rags, and viscosity, applied in many layers.

"Mirage"
Free form approach to painting without direct forethought. I was exploring mark making, drawing with paint and veiling layers of color. I work on canvases in tandem, one that is purely exploratory in nature and the other with a well defined subject and an objective to accomplish.

"Reflections"
This is a combination of painting, drawing, and sewing. In 2020-2021 there was a very obvious planetary alignment happening in the night sky. It went on for months! In this piece I loosely referred to this occurrence in a state of reflection in the daytime sky on top and the night time sky on the bottom. I am also always trying to develop color and so worked to enrich the acrylics with multiple layers.

"The Shared Experience of Creativity and Ingenuity"
This was a very deliberate piece with an emphasis on color blending and color relationships. I tend to fill up a canvas with shapes and lines so need to be very aware of the orchestration all these elements. The subject was also very consciously approached.
