ABOUT
Michelle van Reenen is a painter and graphic designer who works from her studio in Kommetjie, Cape Town, South Africa. Michelle obtained a BA degree in Visual Arts from the University of Stellenbosch in 1999. She was the co-creative director of a graphic design studio Room 13 Design for 16 years and now manages its affiliated company Room 13 Collection when she is not painting.
Michelle’s practice sensitively delves into the complex relationship between the conscious and unconscious selves, ultimately making space for harmonious existence between the two. Her vibrant paintings find their origin in the sphere of art therapy and are produced by letting go of conscious control over the process and final pieces. Working intuitively, Michelle reveals the psyche by giving it form and colour.
