About the Book
With gestural brushstrokes and unanticipated colors Michelle's paintings provide the enduring spark for a love affair filled with passion and mystery.
“With these I have expanded my exploration to the floral form. Hiking in the luscious meadows and along the rustic roadsides of Kansas I delight in recording each floral sighting with anticipation of interpreting each with my expressive and distinctive impressionistic style. My bold pallet and energetic paintings weave philosophical and intuitive compositions for modern contemplation of nature and the sacred feminine.” - Michelle Leivan
