Minx Painting

"Right now I am focusing my paintings on Marilyn Monroe. The collection I am working on is called Marilyn Forever. I want to capture her essence in the purest, simplest and rawest form- be it sensuality, sadness, happiness or playfulness. She was so much more than a sex symbol. She had a style and a charm about her that made her ledendary and timeless." I have drawn since childhood and as other children stop at some point in their development I never did. I grew up in an artist household. I was formally trained in fine arts at The College of New Jersey and later at Pratt. I paint or do something art related every single day. For me, art is happiness. I basically live in my studio. My work has been acquired and is included in interesting private and public collections, throughout the world. My illustrations, cartoons and artworks have been reproduced in books and other printed periodicals. I am a self represented full time artist. I primarily like to work with Mixed Media on canvas, but am versed with acrylics and watercolors as well as other traditional media.. I have travelled extensively throughout the United States, Europe and even Australia. Thank you for your interest. #!/michelle.delecki
