Welcome to my Website!
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 and joy using nature motifs. I infuse vitality, energy, and spontaneity into each artwork that resonates with the viewers’ heart and soul.
I am a self-taught artist who learned much from painting with my family—Rene O'Connor and Danielle O'Connor Akiyama.
"My art reflects my combined love of mystery and beauty—the perfect combo of quirky meets joy!" explains Michelle.
Now retired from a career in communications, I am delighted to have more time to paint in my rural studio.
Thanks for stopping by my site!

The Day We Grew Wings
Leaving the earth behind, with our faces to the sun, we float effortlessly in the air guided by the wind. Small painting 12x12 in a joyful explosion of sunny colours.

Loving Layers!
Original Art
Each painting is an "original" work of art made with a variety of mixed media materials including fluid and heavy body acrylics, graphite sticks, inks, crayons, glitter, collage, pens, and whatever else excites me!
My art is inspired by life events and the beauty and ruggedness of nature I see all around me—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 transparent paint to add depth and mystery!
