MICHELLE MORIN

NATURE IS MICHELLE MORIN'S MAIN SUBJECT OF INTEREST  WHEN SHE CREATES HER SOOTHING CANVASES OR WORKS ON PAPER.

ANIMALS, PLANTS AND THEIR DISTINCTIVE ENVIRONMENTS ARE BROUGHT TOGETHER IN A COLLAGE- LIKE MIX THAT REVEALS ITSELF THOUGH PATTERN, NARRATIVE ELEMENTS AND TEXTURE.

THERE IS A CONSTANT FEELING OF EXPLORATION AS THE COMPLEXITIES AND BEAUTY OF NATURE ARE RE- DISCOVERED IN THE ARTIST'S COLOURFUL ILLUSTRATIONS.
