For our first-ever episode, Jenn sits down with the immensely thoughtful artist Michelle Jung. Michelle Jung’s paintings are complex, reflective compositions that obscure the line between realism and abstraction. Up close, the brushstrokes appear as ribbons of color intertwined. From afar, they merge to create a timeless image of nature. She notes, “I intentionally leave space and room in my paintings for the viewer’s eye to explore beyond the image itself. I want their familiarity with nature to play a part in the experience.”
Born in Connecticut, Jung received her MFA in Painting from the Academy of Art University and her BA in Art History from Colorado State University. Jung has participated in numerous juried international and national exhibitions. She has exhibited in juried group shows in more than a dozen museums, including the Autry Museum of the American West, the Pasadena Museum of California Art, the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, Mystic Seaport Museum, and the Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art.
She has had two solo gallery exhibitions in New England. And in 2021, she had her first solo museum exhibition at the Santa Paula Art Museum in California.
Michelle is a member of the Salmagundi Club, an elected Artist Member of The Guild of Boston Artists, a Signature Member of the California Art Club, a Signature Member of the American Society of Marine Artists, and an Art Renewal Center Associate Living Master.
Jung maintains studios in California and Nevada.
