Abstract Art is a new concept to me, I had only began painting in November 2009, a period in my life coming to terms with my affliction. My creations are driven purely by emotions. Most of my pieces were painted when I was angry and in turmoil. I have come up with techniques creating textured surfaces with squirts, flicks and sprays as well as drips and my main medium is acrylics paints.
My first exhibition "With More Expressions of Colors" was with the Painting with Parkinson's Group in April 2010 at the old Cheese Factory.
Some of the pieces are exhibited with Amethyst Art Space at Kartsten CQ Gallery at 123 Queen Street, Melbourne on the 12th Floor (see upcoming events)
"Beyond the Mask II" at the Kingston Art Centre at 979 Nepean Highway - where it was officially opened by the Governor of Victoria Professor David de Krester A.C. from 21 Aug to 14 Sep (see upcoming events) organised by two lovely ladies Ursula and Vanessa.
These great expressions of my life and I invite you to share them with me. As you gaze at each piece I hope it will evoke deep thoughts, feelings and memories in the centre of your soul.

I finally worked how I wanted to present myself to everyone. At first it was to be a gallery as an Artist to sell my art works, after many website designs I have finally come to a decision. I am Michelle Renia and this is a gallery of the phases and experiences in my life captured in what I call Expressions. They are in the form of Abstract Art and they are for sale. Not only are my experiences and emotions captured on canvas, they are captured in music. Piano improvisations under the heading Music - Expressions are 11 songs created spontaneous and produce as a CD. You are most welcome to purchase a CD and please select Contact Me to obtain one.
Coming to terms with my affliction with young onset Parkinsons the medication I have to take is what gave me the inspiration to create these great works of mine. As my neurologist puts it, the medication stimulates the creative part of the brain and give me the energy required to these activities. So apart from having some talent, thank you Sifrol, if it were not for you I would still be plain Michelle.
Please feel free to browse The Gallery and the site and should you wish to become a member and uploads your expressions of life, let me know. You are required to be authorised as I surely do not want all sorts of content uploaded to my site, after all I own this site.
Once again Welcome!

Moments of madness, I must be an artist then. What does madness mean? Madness a state of mental illness, I like this one better, extreme foolish behaviour. So why do I associate madness with being artist. I believe this all began with the argonist drug madopar, I am no doctor but from what I understand not only does it release what my defective brain needs (dopamine), it stimulates the creative side of the brain the right side. How any scientist came to this discovery is beyond me, imagine knowing what the left and right sides of the brain does. What events have led me think I have moments of extreme behaviour? Quite a few....
![]() The discovery of Abstract Art is an obsession I now cannot live without. A result of intense emotions dealing with an affliction and life normal pressures has given me this great gift which I share with you. I had only started painting in November 2009 together with a new found enjoyment of spontaneous piano compositions which some people love and some do not. This new love of art and music has given me a strange new courage to explore how far this journey will take me. Three exhibitions and a CD produced and listed on the playlist of Radio Port Douglas, to me these are my evidence of success and I am proud of what I have achieved. I paint with bright and confronting colors, confronting as it is bold and vivid and that is how my emotions are like. How else can I express myself, in a world where one is cautious in actions and words. How else then to do I tell you I am angry and frustrated and dealing with the pressures of every day life, of an ordinary person living an ordinary life. When I mark the white canvas with a bold bright illuminious pink side by side with a bright yellow accompanied with my favorite cobolt blue, I speak through colors. To me the sky is never blue, but movements in colors and textures are beauty in its self. Out of my anger and extreme frustration is beauty in art. I now share it with you. Michelle Renia
