Michelle Brunner
Growing up Michelle spent her summers on the Lake Erie Islands and along the sandy shores of Lake Michigan. She fell in love with the waves, islands, and carefree life along the lake. That feeling of being on the water carried over into her paintings. Her paintings reflect life on the islands. Hollyhocks along the water's edge, hydrangeas in front of adorable cottages, and sailboats racing across the lake. She paints these scenes in an impressionistic style using acrylic paint to amplify these restful landscapes. Michelle always loved art especially color and line. Art class was her favorite class in school. This inspired her to eventually make art education a career. She received a Bachelors of Science in Art Education at Bowling Green State University in Ohio and a Masters in Education in Technology from Cleveland State University. She has taught art for over fifteen years at Perrysburg High School in the historic town of Perrysburg, Ohio. Her style is somewhat abstracted and impressionistic. She likes to focus on color and her emotional reaction to a scene. Her paintings are completed mostly by intuitively laying down color and brushstrokes. Her aspiration is to have the viewer experience the joy she feels while painting each subject. Michelle resides in her hometown of Perrysburg, Ohio with her husband Rob and two daughters.
