About
Artist Michelle Fillmore discovered her passion for oil painting while pursuing her studies at the University of Las Vegas, where she earned a BA in Painting and Drawing in 2015. Known for her meticulously rendered photorealistic style portraying surrealistic imagery, Fillmore's art celebrates humanity's resilience and capacity for transformation.
This unique oil on canvas painting measures 12 inches square and bears the artist's signature on both the front and back. It comes stretched, wired, and ready for display, eliminating the need for framing. Convenient local Los Angeles area shipping is available. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping is available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.
Fillmore's intricate paintings, each requiring a month to complete, serve as autobiographical metaphors. Through her art, she seeks to initiate conversations about mental health, addressing its associated stigmas and challenges. Her works convey the beauty found within imperfection and suggest that childhood adversities can foster personal growth.
Regarding her creative process, Fillmore remarks, “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.”
Currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Fillmore's art is showcased nationally.
