About

Bay Area artist Michelle Fillmore found her love of oil painting at the University of Las Vegas, where she graduated with a BA in Painting and Drawing in 2015. Fillmore’s tightly controlled photorealistic style depicting surrealistic imagery is intended to celebrate humanity's ability to overcome, change, and transform.

This one-of-a-kind oil on canvas painting is 30 inches high and 40 inches wide. This artwork is signed on the front and back. It is stretched, wired, and ready to hang. It does not require framing. Free local Los Angeles delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping are also available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.

Fillmore’s intricately detailed paintings, each of which takes a month to create, are autobiographical metaphors. Through her work, she aims to start a discussion about mental health and its inherent stigmas and challenges. Fillmore's artworks embody the beauty of imperfection and the suggestion that childhood adversities can be opportunities for growth.

Fillmore says of her creative process, “I paint the things I do partially as a way to take the parts of my past that once made me feel isolated and turn them into opportunities to connect.”

Now based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Fillmore exhibits nationally.
