Michele Courage – Artist – www.michelecourage.com
Michele Courage is a professional artist who lives in Wellington, New Zealand. Her passion lies with art. Her larger abstract pieces are created in such a way so as to convey a particular emotion, a feeling or an idea. Her work is closely connected to her spirituality and reflects her passionate nature, revealing an insight into her ability to absorb feelings, colours and moods and then transfer these onto the canvas. The artworks are emotional channels to a greater insight into life and what life has to offer and experience. Within her paintings are small moments that can transport the viewer to a magical and calming place. There is an energy within Michele's paintings which simply put, can be uplifting. Healing Through Art – using art to meditate and heal is how Michele uses her Soul Vibration painting technique.
Michele’s work hangs in private collections throughout the world from Cape Town to New York, Ireland, San Paulo, Canada, London, France and New Zealand.
