Michelle Silver (b. 1987, Catskill Mountains, NY) is a painter, curator and graphic designer living and working in the Hudson Valley, NY. She paints emotional landscapes that combine steadied intention with bursts of full throttle frenetic motion. Sometimes figurative, sometimes abstract, her painted worlds exist in the space between the conscious and subconscious, in the area guided by intuition. Silver uses the intimacy and vulnerability of her experiences—often portraying a dream or memory—as a platform to connect larger themes of motherhood, trauma, mental health, desire, and fear. Silver has exhibited throughout the US and in the UK and is the Co-Founder and Gallery Director of Distortion Society in Beacon, NY. Her painting and curation have been included in numerous publications including The New York Times, Hyperallergic, Cool Hunting, Times Union, Two Coats of Paint, Art Business News, and Chronogram.
