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.
