An Ontario College of Art graduate and Interior Decorating major from George Brown College, Michelle Demeulenaere operates her own interior painting business creating faux finishes, murals and regular painting. Her precise, contrived Interior work is a complete parallel to her stylized, experimental, abstract paintings and although the style is different, many of her work subjects consist of interior content. Her work is a playful expression, rebelling against society's perfection and insistence to be realistic. Simplicity is key; where sharp lines and warming colors mix to create an instant everlasting impression and comprehension of the subject matter is instantaneous upon viewing. She revisits textiles of the past and images in nature in her paintings that remind her of colorful objects that she grew up with and gains inspiration from books, media, pop culture and illustrated icons from the past and present.

Michelle has donated a number of pieces of her art work to various charities and fund raisers.
