Michele MItchell, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

Even as a small child, internationally recognized artist Michele Mitchell wanted to know life in an \u201cessential\u201d way. \u201cThe arts invited me to explore something greater than myself within me,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Mitchell trained in classical and impressionist painting at the American Academy of Art in Chicago, The Atelier and the Academy of Fine Art in Florence. \u201cI studied with a lineage of masters pre-dating the 18th century,\u201d she says. \u201cThrough artists like Rembrandt and Vermeer, I learned a truly amazing craft based on seeing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mitchell moved with her husband and two daughters to Asheville 21 years ago. \u201cI didn\u2019t want my daughters to be defined by a city, Chicago, but by the beauty that surrounded them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though Mitchell has experience with a variety of mediums, she currently works primarily in oils.<\/p>\n

Mitchell\u2019s studio is located at 191 Lyman Street, in the River Arts District. Learn more at MicheleMitchellFineArt.com<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
