Michele Morehouse is a ceramic artist and painter who divides her time between residences in Bodega, California and the small fishing village of Melaque, Mexico. Her love of the natural beauty of the windswept hills and coastline of western Sonoma County with it's abundance of swallows, hummingbirds, sparrows and other wildlife has given her subject matter a sense of alchemy and spirituality.
Working with pastels on Arches paper, Michele provokes a sense of mystery and destiny in her drawings. In "Spring Suitor" archetypes of interconnectness, expectations and fortune are explored. The image itself becomes a decoy that lures the viewer into it's realm... much like a flower presents itself to a honeybee.
