About the Artist
Hello and welcome to my website! I am Michelle Hutchinson a Canadian abstract floral artist drawing my inspiration from the natural beauty of my rural surroundings outside my studio. I use a vibrant palette to showcase themes of hope, joy, and resiliency using nature motifs. I infuse vitality, energy, and spontaneity into each artwork to resonate with the viewers’ heart and soul.

What I'm Learning from Painting in a Series
Limiting? Stifling? Why would I put myself through this? Painting in a series has some very strong advantages that I decided to embrace during 2020!
Original Art
Each painting is an "original" work of art made with a variety of mixed media materials including fluid acrylics, graphite sticks, inks, crayons, glitter, collage, pens, and whatever else excites me!
All my art is inspired by the nature I see outside my studio - the lake, trees, flowers, birds, and mostly by the wind that makes everything dance!
I love to try out different colour combinations, textures, and processes. And, I'm a big fan of multiple layers of both opaque and transparents paint!
