Design Interest: Artist Discovery on Etsy

October 2, 2017

DESIGN INTEREST:

ARTIST FEATURE: MICHELLE ANDREA

While searching endlessly on Etsy.com for the right painting, I discovered an artist from Alberta who creates beautiful large canvasses great for modern living spaces or open concept lofts. I ordered a large 50 x 60" canvass for my home office space to fill an open stairway. The end product was close to what I saw online, possibly better. Michelle Andrea created a textured black and white abstract canvass that makes the overall contemporary clean-line space feel a little warmer with texture, depth and size. I had the canvass framed at Harrison Art Services at 1000 Parker St, Vancouver. I opted for a floating black-metal frame to go with the industrial sytle of the painting, and to match my "cold-er" sense of interior style. Have a look at Michelle Andrea's work at: https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/MichelleAndreaArt, and you can order what the modernist painting that fits your needs, and taste, while meeting your size requirments.
