About the artist:

Hello, I’m Michelle Ramos, an abstract artist dedicated to creating paintings that inspire mental health conversations. My work reflects a range of emotions—sometimes introspective, sometimes uplifting, always inviting viewers to connect with their own feelings.

From Lab Coats to Paint-Splattered Aprons

Picture this: I swapped microscopes for paintbrushes, trading biology for bold, beautiful chaos. Why? Well, bipolar disorder threw some curveballs that made lab life tricky. But instead of stepping back, I dove headfirst into painting—zero skills, all heart! I was completely new to the art world (still learning the finer details!), but it’s been an incredible journey. Painting has unlocked hidden corners of my soul, showing me that with a bit of passion, I can craft something truly magical!

The Power of “That’s Exactly How I Feel!”

Here’s the best part: my art’s like a mirror for emotions! My ever-changing palette might lean dark and brooding or light and lively, but every piece seems to tug at heartstrings. I’m always moved when viewers see my work and say, “That’s exactly how I feel!” or point out subtle details I hadn’t noticed myself. It’s like my paintings create quiet moments of connection, sparking deep emotions and meaningful bonds. I live for those times when someone says, “Michelle, your art gets me!”—it’s the ultimate high-five from the universe.

So, come along, explore my ever-shifting world of art, and let’s connect through the emotions we share!
