Domestic spaces are special in many ways. As private, intimate expressions of daily life, they say so much about the people who occupy them. These spaces, where simple, everyday moments occur, are worth celebrating through colorful arrangements of material and imagery. At Calico Flower Studio, I make original artwork that does exactly that.I am fascinated by the relationship between my living space and my physical, mental, and emotional experience of it. When I'm sitting at home, washing the dishes, watering the plants, or just staring out the window, I often ruminate or daydream. In my studio practice, I create mixed media paintings and collages that are visual representations of how thoughts and emotions can affect our presence in a moment. While I depict everyday, seemingly unremarkable subjects, my use of color and material results in visually complex images that suggest a kind of overstimulated, psychological activity. Even when nothing is happening, so much is happening within our minds.I was born in Reynoldsburg, Ohio and currently live in Los Angeles, California with my husband and our cat Dahlia. I have an MFA from Columbus College of Art & Design, where I discovered my love for mixed media painting and collage.If you are interested in purchasing my artwork, have any questions about my practice, or would like to collaborate, please email me: danimichauxart@gmail.com. I'd be thrilled to hear from you.
