Michelle Weinberg

My goal as an artist is to use imagery to penetrate the veneer of everyday appearances, to activate and bring to the surface latent and surprising possibilities within. Primarily, my process is about the freedom derived from re-arranging a set of givens from the visible world. I am inspired by settings in nature and the urban environment, and in them I see a vivid contemporary folklore. When I draw and paint I open up new spaces using architectural and organic forms.

I am a painter working in varied mediums in my studio and in the creation of art for interiors, architecture and public spaces. I am the recipient of awards, fellowships and residencies from Pollock-Krasner Foundation, SouthArts, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, Joseph Robert Foundation, South Florida Cultural Consortium, National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts, MacDowell Colony, Millay Colony, Studios at MASS MoCA,100West Corsicana in TX, Fine Arts WorkCenter in Provincetown, homesession and Fundacion Valparaiso in Spain and Altos de Chavon in Dominican Republic.
