The Artist

Elaine McMichael is a visual artist whose primary medium is acrylics, however, her work includes mixed media, watercolor, computer graphics, mural painting, and calligraphic lettering. Primarily an artist who delights in capturing the beauty of nature and the wonders of the environment, the range of her subject matter ranges from expressing political themes and social issues to communicating through portraiture, exploring whimsy and capturing enchantment in particular places.  Her art evokes places she has been, the connections she makes with people, her recollections of travel and the discovery of new neighborhoods.
