welcome to michelefrancoeurart.com!!!

from my heart to your home...

I have been creating since I was a child. As a child I have always loved and had an  appreciation for beauty. Whenever I saw the world's beauty my heart would sing.  I was 12 when my mother gave me my first watercolor set and my journey began.

I followed the path of creativity. I went to art school in NYC for graphic design and become a graphic designer. It was when I had children that I came back to the path of painting. I took some bright pastels and filled the paper with vibrant shapes and colors. My first abstract painting! I went back to graduate school to get my Masters degree in Painting.

Art is an incredible process. It connects, communicates and is a form of expression. It is an universal language, a picture of an apple is the same all around the world. Art lifts us up and inspires us..

l look inward to express emotion and outward to embrace the beauty I see in the world. Nature's silent magnitude brings joy and passion to the colors that fall from by brush.

I have always surrounded myself with beautiful art. I hope to do the same for you....

I hope to bring beauty and joy to your home,

fun facts!

I am a watercolorist at heart....my first paintings were abstract watercolors. I fell in love with the transparency, light and fluidity.

I have a passion for  interior design and love to compose space. I am an avid country chic person and love to paint and distress furniture.

I lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico and had my first child there. The bright vivid colors against the earth tones imprinted on my heart...

I have three beautiful, talented children!
