Hello, I’m Michele and I have several art styles! I love abstract painting in oil & acrylic, or dabeling in mixed media, landscape painting and landscape photography, as well as product design.

Biography

Michele Hutchins is a contemporary fine artist living and working in Arizona. She studied Fine Art at Northern Illinois University, earning a BFA in Visual Communications with a minor in Fine Art, and later pursued graduate studies at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.

Her work blends oil, acrylic, and mixed media, often through a language of layered textures and harmonized color fields. Hutchins’ pieces are collected for their calming presence, distinctive energy, and ability to transform both residential and commercial interiors.

Michele’s art has been commissioned by private collectors and clients across Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New York, and Ohio. She is represented by Gallery Michele in Carefree, Arizona, and continues to create original commissions for collectors and designers seeking meaningful, one-of-a-kind work.
