Michele Wells - Pastel

Through her fine art landscapes, Wells brings the mighty rivers of Missouri, the rolling rural hills of Arkansas and the streets of Paris to art lovers around the world, evoking a sense of serenity and rekindling treasured memories. With her focus on the playful interaction between shadow and light and her use of rich, bold hues, her works are not simply art, but fully immersive and inherently positive experiences that take the viewer away from the stress of life. As one stands before Wells’ work, the world stops so he or she can catch a deep breath. 
Wells, a St. Louis-based artist, has long connected nature with emotion. She always had a deep love and talent for art, receiving her art degree from Langara College in Vancouver, B.C. Over the years, painting has become Wells’ creative focus. She has traveled around the U.S. and Europe to bring to paper the beauty of Mother Nature’s palette, accented by the human touch. She’s walked beside France’s iconic landmarks and strolled solitary Midwestern back roads to reawaken joyful memories in her audience. They are reminded of a youthful expedition, the winding trip to Grandma’s house, summers on the lake – moments that inspire, captivate and soothe.
