Educated at Fort Hays State University, Michelle Leivan has been distinguished as the featured visual artist at the Kansas River Valley Art Fair, Topeka Jazz Festival and has been nominated for the Kansas Governor’s Artist Award. Michelle has participated in one person shows and exhibits at the Manhattan Arts Center, Art Council of Topeka, True Art Gallery and Topeka Performing Arts Center. She has also exhibited in several juried competitions on the internet. Her work is represented in the Ellis County Historical Archives as well as in several corporate and private collections.
Most recently, she has expanded her exploration to the floral form with the challenge of creating an expressive and distinctive womanly style. Her bold pallet and energetic paintings weave philosophical and intuitive compositions for modern contemplation of the sacred feminine. This style has been cultivated by her life long artistic expression through spiritual reflection of everyday experiences and environment. Four of these new sunflower pieces were honored by being selected hang in Kansas Governor Sebelius’ conference room for the second quarter of 2006.
