Meet Artist Michelle Thornburg
Michelle Thornburg-Artist's Statement
My
style of creating artwork is painting from the subconscious. There are no
carefully planned sketches, no grids, it is just me and my paint with no
expectations of anything but painting. I use my hands to apply the paint
directly onto my canvas, no rules, just whatever feels right. The key for me is
to let go of the conscious world
around me, and just paint, allowing my hands
to take the lead. Eventually the painting reveals itself. It’s like daydreaming
on a canvas.

Artist's
Biography
Michelle Thornburg is a California Artist and Art Teacher living and working in the Central Valley. She creates dream like paintings from her subconscious using the Surrealist technique of automatism, or automatic painting. Her technique of using mainly her hands to apply acrylic or oil paints to the canvas allow her to connect with her artwork. Her paintings are created by applying paints onto the canvas in various colors, patterns, and movements. Her paintings are often reworked and go through many changes before they are completed. These expressive paintings are full of fanciful images and colorful landscapes.

Artist’s Statement Steven F.
Correll
February 2022
When I was six years old I told
my parents that I wanted to be an artist. I am not sure I knew what that meant,
but knew that I enjoyed drawing pictures, painting and making things. Fortunately
for me, I had amazing parents who encouraged and nurtured my artistic endeavors
all my life growing up, through college and into adulthood. Without them and
their support, I would not be writing this. Because of them, for the past fifty
plus years I have been drawing pictures, painting and making things.
