"Artist and naturalist, I'm curious about how nature inspires awe, how we feel it deep in our bones, how to express that connection, and what we can learn from it. My work explores balance and connection in a complex world. Celebrating and confronting Nature and transience through form and movement, I want to show you how Nature and time constantly expand and contract all around us, eliciting a sense of awe, urgency, and wonder. I hope my work serves as a reminder to be receptive to beauty and mystery. Whether artist or viewer, individual life experience makes its way into every artwork while Nature reminds us we are all part of something larger."

Trained in studio art, graphic design, and landscape architecture, Michelle Louis' studio extends to her yard, where she nurtures an edible landscape. BA, University of Wisconsin, USA.
