"Michelle's work is regularly exhibited in galleries throughout Southern California, including the world famous Bergamot Station in Santa Monica, CA. She has donated her work to organizations such as the Children's Art Village in Los Angeles, CA, and the Transplant Foundation in Miami, FL. She worked as a volunteer in the Free Arts for Abused Children, a non-profit organization devoted to homeless and abused children. One of her most treasured experiences was teaching art to a large group of children on Perhentian Island in Malaysia. The course finished with an exhibit featuring all of the works created by the children.
Michelle Curiel's artistic passion began at a very young age. Like other children, she was given crayons and a coloring book. But for Michelle, the process of transforming white space with strokes of beautiful color left an indelible impression. Art quickly became a lifetime passion.
Michelle is constantly inspired by the beauty of her surroundings and life experiences, so much that she finds herself regularly taking photos of whatever subject that catches her eye and captures her heART. Through art, she is able to express her innermost thoughts and feelings. She lives by the belief that "Beauty is always within us regardless of undesirable circumstances that may occur. This beauty is love, creativity and inspiration. It is with you at all times when you look for it with your heART."
Michelle's favorite mediums include acrylic paint, colored pencils and pen. "When I begin a drawing or painting, I clear my thoughts and have no end result in mind. This process frees me of filtering, censoring and judgment. I place color wherever it may land. Images appear and ask me to develop them and bring them to life."
Michelle is currently working on various creative projects, including illustrating a children's book, fashioning alternative clothing for art festivals & designing feather head pieces, jewelry and accesories on heARTeclectic.com
Michelle Curiel was born and raised in Southern California. She currently lives in Honolulu, Hawaii"

One of my first childhood memories is when I sat staring in amazement while my mom colored in one of my coloring books. The colors she used were so beautiful, the strokes so magical. I thought she was the best artist in the world. This is where my inspiration to become an artist began.
I found a passion with designing websites. I learned how to design websites by creating a Latin American community that focused on inspiring others to follow their dreams, encouraging creativity and bringing people from different cultures togeth

Painting from the heart
For those familiar with my previous works, you'll find that my most recent acrylic works are a lot less detailed and a lot more abstract. The reason for this is because a couple of months ago I took an art class with one of my favorite artists, Rassouli http://www.rassouli.com I saw his painting at the church that I go to and found myself staring at them everytime I went there. His work really resonated with me and I wanted to learn from this master, so when I heard he was teaching a course, I took it.
Before I walked into the class I thought there was going to be lessons on technique. Instead there were lectures on how to remove judgement f

My little sis, Elena is 18 years old and is following the path I wish I would have when I was her age - she is going to school to pursue her love of the arts. She's always been fascinated with art & photography and is very creative. I like to think that I have inspired her in some way, because I remember her being a small child looking in amazement at my drawings. I am so proud of her and excited to see how her chosen artistic path unfolds!
She just got a DA account a few days ago, to post her school art projects and to keep track of them somehow. I am sure she would appreciate creative feedback on them so I am asking you to please go to her
