Friday Favorite: Michelle Daisley Moffitt

2/25/2011

2 Comments

 
In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, this Friday’s Feature artist is Michelle Daisley Moffitt!

Michelle Daisley Moffitt graduated from the University of Missouri in Columbia with a BFA in 1991. She then received her MFA in 1993. She has since moved to Omaha, Nebraska where she maintains a studio in a renovated warehouse in the heart of downtown Omaha.

In September 2001, she received the Liquitex Artist of the Month Award.
Michelle was featured as the Artist Spotlighted in Cloth, Paper, Scissors magazine’s July/August 2010 issue.

In her artist statement she writes:
I am an artist that works in a variety of media. I am interested in the emotive impact of color. I attempt to explore this emotive impact through strong color as it relates to abstracted natural forms. My use of the landscape form exists so that I may physically structure my images around natural forces. The images in nature are inexhaustible, allowing for constant variety to examine and manipulate color and the other formal elements. Through this manipulation of natural forms, I trace the passion and vigor that is present during the works conception. I want these landscapes or "inscapes", as I prefer to call them, to develop the personal symbolism within the image.

To me, my work conveys the urgency in acting on one’s own emotions. These internal feelings spring from outside stimuli and are acted out aggressively. Since I am a private person, I feel my work speaks visually of my personality in ways that I choose not to speak verbally. It explores the depth of my soul and mind. When I work on these images, the universality of the range of primal emotions alive in every individual is explored on a grand scale and for this reason I feel they are objects to which every person can relate in one way or another. My intention is to translate the beauty of the human experience through the images I produce, not by simply explaining but by evoking.

Michelle’s paintings are the whimsical, energetic, and full of layers of textures.
Visit her Etsy shop to see all her wonderful paintings!
I hope you enjoy her work as much as I do!

TGIF!
Mary
