Michelle
Penington found her voice through oil painting, and she has a fascinating story
to tell. Each painting is filled with
color, light, and emotion. Michelle
finds inspiration in emotion. Losing
track of time, Michelle paints night and day, and is especially creative when
her muses are active in her life.
Michelle has
a degree in Psychology and Business Administration. She discovered painting, using her creative
side just after she finished college.
She has been painting professionally for over 15 years. Michelle’s grandmother was a costume designer
for major motion pictures Hollywood.
Michelle wears her grandmother’s pendant for luck and inspiration. Splitting her time between Southern
California and Central Arizona, has greatly influenced her palette, using
bright colors over muted tones, the stories told in her paintings come to life. She lives in places that make her soul happy.
Michelle
hosts private studio shows twice a year and is pleased to announce her new
affiliation with Dreams Gallery, located in Old Town Scottsdale. 7077 W. Main
Street, Suite 13. Her gallery reception
is scheduled for March 22, 2014 from 5-8 pm.
Michelle has
some new collaborative pieces in the works.
Her recent collaborations are with two dear friends, Ashley Norton, a
singer/songwriter, and Asa Plum, an architect and photographer.
Michelle has
two children, a boy and a girl, both are active in the arts. Her lifelong goal is to leave a legacy for
her children and secure a place in Art History.
Someday, Michelle would like to pack up her children and her friends and
tour the United States on a tour bus.
She hopes to expand her national gallery representation and has
aspirations to show her work in Europe. Once a year,
Michelle donates a large painting to charity.
