Michelle Gordon

Hello and welcome. I am a self-taught abstract expressionist painter from Kansas City MO. I began painting like this intuitively as a child. By the time I was 19 I felt that I expressed myself best in paint. I was excepted to my top choice art school in Avignon France but ultimately decided it was too intense and that id rather continue painting on my own. I've come to understand my work as Internal landscapes, deep dives into my soul. They unfold intuitively without any preconception of the end result. I usually apply the paint straight from the bottle and mix the colors on the canvas directly.

I've been traveling most of my adult life and creating art wherever I go-geography has a big influence on my work. To date my art has been created in: Kansas City MO, Chicago, different cities in Italy and France, the Indiana Dunes, Paris , Eugene Oregon and most recently in Saint Petersburg Florida.
