Artist
Michelle Reid
Michelle Reid is a Resident Studio Artist at Kingston’s Centre for Creativity and Learning.
Michelle Reid is a contemporary artist living and working in Kingston, Ontario. Drawn to contrasting light and shadow, vanishing viewpoints, bright and plentiful colour, and “the golden hour” of sunlight, Michelle finds inspiration in both nature and city. Painting deep forests, rushing rivers, or busy street corners.
Michelle paints both in her Kingston studio and outdoors, en plein air. Being outdoors brings her a sense of grounding, connecting with nature, architecture and community. Michelle collects photos on forest hikes and walks down the main street, looking for that glow “the golden hour” casts on her favourite places.
Her oil paintings are a contemporary approach to post-impressionism. She deconstructs a scene into bold and confident brushstrokes grounded in the drama between light.
