Welcome To My Imagination- Please Excuse The Mess

Blog

 

Michelle Astuto Collins, expresses her diversity through the use of many different mediums including, but not limited to, acrylic, oil, watercolors, digital painting and sculpture. Collins works range in style from surrealism to whimsy.

Originally from Long Island New York she moved to New Port Richey, Florida at the age of fourteen. With no formal training she credits her artistic diversity to her upbringing in a large creative family with many different styles and interests.

 

Moving around a lot in her early years exposed her to constant changes in her surroundings which has influenced her work; with some works being simple, colorful and playful; others more intricate, seemingly darker and puzzling.

 

Michelle's works are in private collections throughout North America, Europe and Australia.Her work has also shown galleries and shows in Alaska, Florida, New York, Oregon & Virginia.

Twas the month before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, except for the mouse.

Mother shopped online with not even a care,

Knowing the crouds and the lines were not there.

 

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of time-pieces danced in their heads.

And mamma with her paypal, taking only a minute....

She filled her shopping cart, and paid everything in it!

 

She shopped Art by Michelle Collins and made everyone on her Christmas list happy!
