“Where the Sand Meets the Sea: Contemporary Beachscapes” by Michelle Marshall-
My work is primarily focused on landscapes, both real and imagined. I always begin with a specific place in mind, working both from photos and from direct observation, but my philosophy and technique embrace the belief that the painting will evolve synergistically in its own unique way. My work is impressionistic but seeks to evoke a genuine sense of place. What I start with is not necessarily what I will end up with, and in this respect, I am consciously influenced by the work and practice of the Abstract Expressionists. My paintings yield an intimacy of time and place that meanders through rich detail sometimes and stark simplicity others.
