Artist Statement

Artwork by Michelle Hunter is representational, symbolic, intimate, calm and intense. Her current Brain Series deconstructs familiar themes related to how our brains function. This series has presented opportunities for scientific learning and conceptual visual challenges.

The majority of her work is in the medium of acrylic paint on stretched canvas. Using a painterly technique, Michelle transforms everyday objects with a subtle unexpected surreal approach. Her color palette consists of mostly warm colors, punctuated with bright and dramatic tones.

Art has been an integral part of Michelle’s life. Since childhood she has been practicing art. Born and raised in Washington Heights, in the borough of Manhattan, Michelle is a native New Yorker of Trinidadian and Iranian descent. She is also an alumnus of the Fiorello H. LaGuardia School of Music and Art. Currently, Michelle Hunter lives and works in Inwood, Manhattan.

My Interview with C3Stories

Hello there, 

Recently, C3Stories began releasing 3 minute videos as part of its Story-on-Story project with resident artists, film makers, composers and other artists living in the New York City area. We are artists that are making the time to do what we are passionate about even if we have day jobs and other responsibilities. Is that something you can relate to?

View my interview below. Hear in my own words what I struggle with and what advice I have to offer to other artists out there that feel that they can't make the time to do what they love.

It's a great project and I recommend you visit C3Stories website at http://www.c3stories.com/c3s-story-on-story. See what other artists are up to, in their own words.

Regards,
Michelle
