MICHELLE PHILIP
For over three decades, my journey as an artist has been deeply rooted in the rich traditions of oil painting and drawing. As the founder of the Classical Art Academy, I had the privilege of not only creating my own art, but also teaching hundreds of aspiring artists the intricate techniques and profound joys of creating art by hand.
I now find myself standing at the exhilarating intersection of traditional artistry and cutting-edge technology. I have embraced the power of these digital tools to explore new frontiers in art-making. My canvas has always been my playground; my brushes and pencils extensions of my soul. Adding digital painting methods is not a departure from my roots but an evolution, a natural progression in my artistic journey. I guide, shape, and refine each piece, infusing it with my vision, my emotions, and my aesthetic sensibilities.
My desire as an artist is to create art that brings people joy. In my subject matter, I often focus on the ways people all over the world create charming homes and villages. I also love to paint angels. Last but not least are the animal paintings… another favorite subject of mine.
My technique is a collaboration between oil, acrylic, digital, and watercolor. I use whatever medium it takes to get the image to emerge from my interior vision into a painting that can hang on the wall. These paintings are technically “Giclees” printed on a fine art archival printer. I manage every step of their creation, including mounting and framing. I ensure the final image is coated with UV protectant and a scratch resistant varnish. These paintings are guaranteed not to crack or fade as long as they are not hung in direct sunlight or damp conditions.
I do not sell rights to my work to the mass art print market. Most of my paintings are one of a kind, and no other print will be made. If a piece proves to be particularly popular with collectors, I will open it up to a limited edition of 25.
