MICHELLE TRAHAN CARSON

Michelle is a mixed media artist who uses color, texture, and mark-making to create multi-layered pieces, working in the studio with a general concept, but substantially informed by intuition.  She is inspired by a life-long love of history.  Whether she is working with encaustic, collage, or oil and cold wax, she thinks about the passage of time as expressed in the layers of her work, with each choice covering over the past but still leaving it faintly visible.

Michelle has exhibited her work in numerous regional and national juried and invitational shows.  Originally from South Louisiana, she now lives in San Antonio. along with her husband, two children, one loud beagle, and a sneaky chihuahua.
