About
Michelle Nyberg
Michelle Nyberg is a Hornby Island based artist, who creates joyful, impressionistic works in acrylic and mixed media. Her love of nature, especially the ocean and flower gardens, are clear influences in her paintings which often depict a closer look at nature's details, rather than the landscape as a whole.
Her process is a mix of play and refinement which often takes many layers of push and pull- painting intuitively and then approaching the work with more considered choices. In the end, her work strikes a balance that reflects both her inner world and the world around her.
​
Michelle's formal training and art began at Langara College in Vancouver BC where she
received a foundation in many different mediums including painting, ceramics,sculpture
and Design. Following that she attended Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in
Halifax where she focused on ceramics and painting.
Michelle has been painting full time since 2019 and has had solo shows on Hornby
Island as well as taking part in group shows in Vancouver, Vancouver Island and on-line.
Her paintings have brought joyful expression to walls in Canada, USA, Europe and New
Zealand .
