OIL PAINTINGS & WATERCOLORS

Painter, Michele Harvey has been hailed as one of the great artists of the American landscape. Her work has been featured in Architectural Digest and chosen to grace some of the most important corporate collections in the nation. In 2012 & again in 2019 Harvey had a solo exhibition at the Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, NY. This acclaim is well deserved; her technique in both watercolors & oils is superb, her romantic style haunting. The artist, who is from upper New York State, paints the skies and tree-filled landscapes she has known from childhood, imbuing them with a nostalgic, dreamlike quality that renders them extraordinary. Harvey creates works of great subtlety, whether she is depicting broken down cars, trees heavy with the full leaf of summer or standing leafless and snowbound in the thrall of winter. It is a testament to the consummate skill of the artist that light seems to emanate from her canvases rendering each a masterpiece.
