Michaela Nessim

Born in Sweden, experiencing the light from the north and the colour and culture from my Jamaican heritage, my multicultural and mixed ethnic origins have had a huge impact on my identity as an artist. Studying and working in London and Paris have also defined me as an individual and therefore impact my perception of art and beauty.

My personal style has developed since moving to Canada in search of colour during the winter months, as well as from having children. I discovered a process that can accommodate and welcome occasional input from little hands, but that is also full of light and bursts of energy from many layers of texture and paint. My technique brings great pleasure during the creative process. Each painting is derived from my imagination and inspired by my surroundings, from my belief in angels, and love of people and nature.

As an artist, my main goal is to share the happiness that my art brings to me with others. My belief is that colour and light can heal and create a window in your space for you to look through and feel content, healed and energized.
