ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The lush green marsh + high tides as evening approaches on a barrier island brought forth these pieces. These scenes are amongst my favorite + most inspirational ones. The way everything seems to recognize that nightfall is approaching + slows its heartbeat to match the pace of the sunset. When all the animals seem to be taking one final relaxing glance around just to bask in the beauty of their home. And the breeze gently pushes the last breath of warm air against every living thing.

HEY Y'ALL! I'M SO GLAD YOU FOUND YOUR WAY HERE. (IF YOU KNEW ME PERSONALLY, YOU WOULD KNOW, RIGHT NOW, I'D BE GIVING YOU A SMILE & A HUG!) I'M GUESSING YOU MAY WANT TO KNOW A LITTLE MORE ABOUT WHO I AM & WHAT I DO SO, HERE GOES... MY NAME IS MICHELLE OWENBY. I AM A CHILD OF GOD. LOVER OF THE STARS & THE SEAS. A SOUTHERNER. A DAUGHTER. A STUDENT OF ALL THAT INTRIGUES ME. A FRIEND. A LOVER. A WIFE. A MOTHER. A TRAVELER. A SINGER OF SONGS. A LIVE MUSIC DEVOTEE. A SEEKER OF TRUTH & KNOWLEDGE. A DESIGNER & ARTIST. I LIVE IN COASTAL SOUTH CAROLINA ON SULLIVANS ISLAND (SOME PEOPLE CALL IT "MAYBERRY BY THE SEA") WITH MY BELOVED HUSBAND, 2 GROWING & LOVABLE BOYS AND OUR LAZY YELLOW LAB, YETI. I WORK OUT OF OUR HOME WHERE I FIND (SOMETIMES) PEACEFUL AND (ALWAYS) JOYFUL INSPIRATION. SINCE I WAS A LITTLE GIRL GROWING UP IN ASHEVILLE, NC, THINGS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A FEAST FOR MY EYES; EVERYTHING LOOKED LIKE ART TO ME. COLORS, SHAPES, PATTERNS, NATURE, ARCHITECTURE. I CONSTANTLY DRIVE MY FAMILY CRAZY WITH, "OH MY GOSH, LOOK AT THIS, LOOK AT THAT, LOOK HOW PRETTY!!" MY MOTHER HAD A HUGE INFLUENCE ON MY PERCEPTION OF BEAUTY; SHE WAS ALWAYS REFINING THINGS, ORGANIZING, CREATING, BEAUTIFYING EVERYTHING FROM THE FLOWERS IN OUR YARD TO THE CLOTHES IN HER CLOSET. SHE TAUGHT ME HOW TO USE MY IMAGINATION & MY HANDS TO CREATE BEAUTIFUL, ARTFUL THINGS. THIS "MAKER" HERITAGE COMES FROM OUR DEEP CHEROKEE ROOTS. MY DAD WAS AN AVID OUTDOORSMAN & SINCE I WAS HIS ONLY LITTLE BOY (WINK), I WAS OFTEN ALONG FOR HIS ADVENTURES. MY LOVE OF NATURE & THE EVER-PRESENT BEAUTY OF OUR WORLD IS DEEPLY-ROOTED IN HIM & OUR NORTH CAROLINA HERITAGE. AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER, I'VE LOVED COLLECTING & USING MARKERS, COLORED PENCILS, PAINTS, STAMPS, DECORATIVE PAPER, JOURNALS, BOOKS, MAGAZINES; ALL THE THINGS THAT BRING ARTFUL INSPIRATION. AND A PROJECT, WOW, HOW I LOVE A PROJECT!! IT TOOK YEARS FOR ME TO ALLOW MYSELF THE INDULGENCE OF CHASING MY LOVE OF THOSE THINGS. I HAD NO IDEA HOW DEEPLY ALL OF THAT RESONATED INSIDE OF ME & HOW MUCH HAPPINESS & PEACEFULNESS IT WOULD BRING. A RECENT TRIP TO SEDONA REALLY BROUGHT THIS TO THE SURFACE AGAIN; IT AWAKENED THAT PART OF ME THAT HAD BEEN LULLED TO SLEEP AND I AM SO GRATEFUL I HAD THE CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE THAT CREATIVE & SPIRITUAL REVELATION. IT IS A TIME I WILL NEVER FORGET & I STRIVE DAILY TO NOURISH THAT PART OF ME.
