Michelle Gilliam
is an encaustic artist based in Tennessee, with over 30 years of creative experience in acrylic, oil, and photography. She brings a seasoned yet deeply curious eye to every piece she creates.
Her work is rooted in the pursuit of light —
With the use of Stylistic Abstract she seeks to invoke emotion in her pieces first before critique. Right brain before Left.
"I hope it evokes emotion, curiosity, and wonder."
Her stylistic abstract has no boundaries. Although she is inclined to work in the three areas of Landscape, figurative, and Patriotic. But she is open to inspirations.
A practicing nurse for over 30 years and a published author, Michelle’s multifaceted life informs her visual storytelling.
Her unique background has given her a heart to create Healing Art that soothes the soul.
Painting can bring emotional regulation, aid inner processing as well as evoke emotional safety.
Stylistic Art can help patients dealing with fear, grief, pain or uncertainty. Paintings help soften the harsh realities they sometimes face.
