Michele<br />
Miller<br />
Michele Miller earned her Fine Art’s degree from the<br />
University of Guelph and currently resides in Huron<br />
County. She is an accomplished oil and watercolour<br />
artist that has been showing her paintings across<br />
southern Ontario for over 10 years. Light and mood<br />
are pivotal elements in her art. Looking to her surroundings<br />
for inspiration, she is frequently responding to the most ordinary<br />
of subject matter. Her body of work consists of a diverse range of subjects<br />
including landscapes, still life, portraits as well as buildings and animals. Having<br />
won several awards, her most recent accomplishments include a solo<br />
exhibit last summer at the Blyth <strong>Festival</strong> Art Gallery and a second place at<br />
this year’s Paint Ontario annual juried art show. Michele has been teaching<br />
art classes for several years in Oakville, Guelph and most recently in Huron<br />
County.<br />
ARTIST STATEMENT<br />
“Art for me is an emotional expression of my experiences through<br />
life and a way to deepen the understanding of my journey<br />
while at the same time celebrating it.”<br />
Oil and watercolour are the means I use to express and explore<br />
what captivates me. Light and mood are important aspects of my art.<br />
Watercolour invites a certain playfulness and it provides me with a method<br />
to record and work out what intrigues me. In my oil paintings, I love to play<br />
with depth of colour and brush work and use them as a means to express<br />
different moods or aspects of my subject. I look to my surroundings for<br />
inspiration and am frequently<br />
responding to the most ordinary<br />
of subject matter. I am reminded<br />
when I paint that life is beyond<br />
what we see at first glance.<br />
