Artist of the Week: Michelle Armas

Effect Effect, 36"x 48" acrylic on gallery wrap canvas, $1500

Michelle Armas is a painter based in Atlanta, Georgia who works primarily in acrylic and oil. According to her online bio, she has no formal art training but instead possesses a Bachelor of International Relations and a post-graduate degree in Graphic Design and Branding from the Portfolio Center in Atlanta. It just goes to show that you don't need all the trappings of higher art education under your belt to be able to express yourself beautifully.   
I don't typically respond to abstract painting, but there is something in Michelle's workthe palette, the expressive strokes, the drips and drags of paint across the large fields of colorthat moves me. All of her paintings and prints can be purchased in her Big Cartel shop here: michellearmas.bigcartel.com
