Michelle Held
With over three decades of experience as a professional artist, Michelle brings a deep reverence for nature and storytelling to every canvas. Her journey began in historical restoration and fine decorative finishes, where she cultivated an appreciation for craftsmanship and detail. Over the past ten years, I’ve travelled the plein air circuit, capturing fleeting light and the living pulse of the landscape in both paint and heart. As a wildlife and plein air artist, her work is driven by a connection to place, whether in the hope of a misty morning sunrise or the golden hush before dusk. Michelle is an award-winning artist and is so passionate about teaching and hosting workshops throughout the U.S., Ireland, Italy, and now Spectacular Yorkshire, England!
Beyond the brush, Michelle is guided by community and connection. Her paintings find their way into homes where collectors become friends, and each piece carries shared moments, conversations, and quiet joy. Through plein air painting, and the deep bonds formed with artists, patrons, volunteers, and collectors, she invites open eyes and open hearts to see the landscape not just as it is….but as it is felt. A bit of poetry vs Journalism.
