Michelle Michaud for December 6-8

Local artist and Ptarmigan Arts member, Michelle Michaud, will offer a pop-up show of her paintings on December 6th (First Friday) through December 8th.

Michelle’s featured works will be in watercolor, acrylics, and oil and cold wax.  Her artwork will cover a range of topics including loose florals and landscapes, birds, and abstract paintings.  Michelle will also have a selection of handmade greeting cards available, including Christmas cards!

We would like to share here some background information about our Michelle.   She said that “art makes my heart sing.”  Michelle has been a resident of Homer since 2007, and an Alaska resident for over 37 years.  She also comes from a family of artists. 

Michelle first remembered her experience with art when she was five years old and had to draw and color a turkey.  She also remembers getting out her little golden bird book and drawing and coloring birds.  Since those early memories, she has taken art in junior high, high school and college.

Michelle became serious about making her own art around 2018.  She started first in watercolors and then broadened her horizon to include mixed media, oil and cold wax, and acrylics.  Michelle’s oil and cold wax, and acrylic artwork leans towards abstract art.  Her  watercolor artwork is loose and she especially loves painting flowers and birds.  She likes to experiment using different techniques and mediums.  There is always a work in progress in her work space.  

Do not miss Michelle’s Pop-up show starting on December’s First Friday, December 6^th and available for viewing through December 8^th.  Happy Christmas shopping along with this special opportunity to see Michelle’s artwork!
