At Artists' Edge, we work with Artists all the time. Sometimes it might be helping them with supplies for their creative endeavors, other times it may be framing their artwork for an exhibit.
Most recently, local artist Michelle Amicucci has been painting up a storm, and has been coming to us for art supplies as well as framing for over 20 paintings & prints in the last month or so. Michelle's latest adventures have her diving into Pet Portraiture. You can discover the wide variety of artwork Michelle creates on her website at MichelleAmicucci.com. She is also represented by the Front Street Gallery right here in Poulsbo, WA
Michelle is passionate about nature, painting mostly animals and landscapes in watercolor, oil or mixed media. She portrays her subjects in a range from representational to semi-abstract. Her paintings tend to be minimalist – not a lot of background (if any at all). Michelle thinks it's challenging to capture an animal or landscape that is “interesting” and intriguing to a viewer while retaining its individual character – or perhaps, retaining the individual character is what makes it intriguing….
In 1987, after studying at the University of Besançon in Besançon, France, Michelle Amicucci graduated with a degree in French from Carroll College in Helena, Montana. She worked for several years in Washington, D.C. before moving back West where she worked in the natural gas industry for the next 18 years, taking weekend workshops and evening art classes. In 2008 she left her job to spend more time with her mother and pursue art more seriously. Michelle lives locally here in Kitsap County
