About Michelle Silverman:
Created during her daily art and meditation practice, Michelle’s abstract paintings are spontaneous in nature, reflecting her inner world found during the stillness of the pre-dawn morning. Inspired by color, emotion, and daily events, she approaches the canvas not knowing what the final outcome will be. She paints from the heart. Her abstract, Fusion expressionism allows you, the viewer, to see what speaks to you in each piece.
Painting is Michelle’s ultimate meditation and mode of expression. She paints with colors that call to her in the moment. Her process requires many layers and pours of paint and is not premeditated, allowing for a spontaneous creation that is highly unpredictable. The interaction between the paints and surface creates a dynamic movement of color. The result is a painting that viewers interact with, finding the message that calls to them. Michelle’s works have found homes coast-to-coast, gallery showings and online at MichelleSilvermanART.com
