If you ask Toronto-based artist Mishel Schwartz to pinpoint the exact moment when being an artist became her heart's desire, she'd tell you the story of her younger self hiding on the stairs, watching her mother in her basement studio paint live models. The fascination was instant, and the pursuit since that inspiring moment, has been lifelong.
Recognized in the Toronto art scene as a master of evoking the natural beauty of the living world in her chosen medium of alcohol ink, developing a meticulous technique of multi-layered colours and details which are then carefully carved to reveal works of incredible depth and beauty.
With an impressive repertoire of local and international shows, as well as representation at Crescent Hill Gallery, Mishel spends her days in studio working on personal pieces as well as private commissions and collaborations with branding companies, and as always, fearlessly pursuing her lifelong dream with passion and grace.
