Michelle Renée's "The Space Between"

A few months ago, my friend came over with her 18-year-old son who is about to venture out into the world on his own, and he asked me how I knew that I wanted to be an Artist - that I could be an Artist. I told him, “When the words in my heart were louder than the words in my head,” I knew. I also knew that the space between my heart and my head filled with all the emotions (good and bad) was necessary to get me to that place of knowing that I could be an Artist. The pieces I painted for this show have white spaces to represent all of the emotional experiences that I had/have to go through to get to listening to my heart. I didn't want to just fill up every inch of the canvas. I wanted to remember that fear and joy equally got me where I am today as a self-taught Artist. The space between my heart and head sometimes looks like self-doubt, but it has always looked like love.

Arist Bio

Michelle Renée is an abstract painter and a native of Little Rock, Arkansas. Michelle is proud of the fact she is a self-taught artist because she gets to experiment with textures and colors and has no rules or boundaries. She has been painting for over 20 years and full-time since 2018. In her spare time, Michelle paints with kiddos who are often times facing challenges and adversities as she feels like she has much to offer in ways of patience, kindness, and compassion in a safe and playful environment. Michelle's art is in over 15 states and in many homes and businesses all over Arkansas. Permanent works are at the U.A.M.S Breast Cancer Center and The Better Businesses Bureau.
