About

​​​​Ronda Lynn Michel began teaching herself to paint after retiring from a 25 year career in the dental field.  A creative person her entire life, she has won awards for her works in acrylic and wax.   She loves the layering process of wax which builds texture and produces translucency and luminosity. 

In 2014 her creative spirit led her to write  and illustrate several children's books.

• How the 425 Saved Christmas
• Sasha and the Stars: A Chanukah Tale
• When The World Was Gray

Very spiritual, Michel remains open to the voice of the universe and it's cues, creating her works in a space she calls Inspiration Studio on a mountain top where she lives with her husband Wayne.  She has three sons and three grandchildren, ​one of which is a flourishing young artist.  

          Opening Reception / Book Signing:  December 4, 6 – 9pm (First Friday)
          Show Dates:  December 7 - January  31 -30, 2016

Skippack Event Calendar: Artist Molly Light | First Friday Gallery Opening Reception - August 7th 2015

Artist Molly Light

Watercolor / Mixed Media

Statement

“Ever since childhood, I have taken particular delight in observing natural phenomena in the world around me. Different places can suggest a variety of emotions and associations, from serenity to dramatic intensity, from intimacy to grand majesty. For me it is at once challenging and exhilarating to convey these impressions.

Each environment inspires a particular kind of response. I’m constantly experimenting with how to evoke the essence of a place...to convey what it feels like to be there... rather than simply describing the surface appearance. I’m impelled to capture the moment when nature makes me say, “Ahah!”

Sometimes I’ll gain inspiration from a scene and wait until I’m in my studio to process what I’ve seen. The majority of my abstract compositions come forth in this way. Abstract content encourages me to follow the most uninhibited exploration of each medium’s unique qualities. Not one to stay stuck in one way of doing things; I enjoy the freedom to choose from several different mediums to express my vision. The creative process is a joyous path of discovery and pushing beyond the boundaries of the familiar.

For instance, I’ve heard many comments by painters who are afraid of watercolors because its fluid nature can seem so hard to control. It is quite e

asy to make mud and to end up with “unhappy” accidents. However, I love to explore these very qualities of watercolors that scare others away. Practicing a Zen-like consciousness of being in the moment, I push wetness to the extreme...deftly applying brush strokes and color based on the different stages of wetness or dryness of the painting. I fearlessly challenge watercolors to express their true potential for luminous and intense color.

Interestingly, the abstract explorations have translated back into freer techniques with my impressionistic landscapes. This is why I continue to paint and exhibit both abstracts and landscapes...they are all part of the same process of celebrating nature, expressing my passion for color and sharing positive, healing energy!"
