Original Oils, Acrylics and Watercolors

Escape to another place and time

An artist and painter for decades, I am inspired by the nature of the beautiful California Central Coast region, as well as scenes from my travels abroad. I work mostly in oils in my studio using my own reference photos, but also enjoy Plein Air painting. There is so much beauty in this world, and I hope to capture some of it in these works.

Please enjoy!

About

My name is Michelle Dee

I'm a native of Northern California and live in the beautiful coastal area of the Santa Cruz Mountains. After a fulfilling career in tech, I am now able to spend 100% of my time pursuing my real passion which is art and painting. Taking my artwork from a periodic pastime to a way of life is a serious mission for me. I would love to have feedback from you and hope you enjoy my work!
