Watercolor Class- No Shipping Charge

Michelle Berg Radford has been in love with landscape painting since she saw the paintings of the Hudson River School and Vincent Van Gogh as a teenager. Michelle studied landscape painting at the Savannah College of Art and Design where she earned her MFA in Painting.

Michelle begins her landscapes by spending time getting to know a place through painting on location, hiking, and taking reference photos. Some paintings are completed on location, and others are created in the studio from memory, photos, and sketches. Color and mark-making are key elements in her paintings as she works to capture the spirit of a place while highlighting the beauty of the art materials and composition.

After becoming a mother of three Michelle expanded her artistic practice to include textiles and women’s crafts to explore the themes of domesticity and mothering. Michelle enjoys weaving together the language of fine art with that of women’s craft as a metaphor for a life combining art making and caregiving.
