Michelle Gordon

Michelle Dorothea Gordon. Internal landscapes about how I am feeling. The pictures unfold intuitively from the inside out- without sketches, source material or any preconception of the end result. Through layers of accrued oil paint, every mark on the canvas contributes to its total integration- the final picture. The paintings are left open-ended with space for the viewer to draw their own inferences from the architecture of their own private imaginative world.

I've been traveling most of my adult life and creating art wherever I go. Geography has a big influence on my paintings and me. I try my best to set up in places and spaces that inspire. To date my art has been created in: Kansas City, Chicago, Bomarzo IT, Venice IT, the Indiana Dunes, Paris and most recently in Saint Petersburg Florida.
