Welcome to Michaela J. Currie - Artist!

I am a self taught Norwich (UK) artist. I started painting as part of my recovery from health struggles.  

I enjoy oil painting so much that I have had the delight to paint for and exhibit in the London Underground, Shoreditch, Stowmarket and Norwich. I have also been honoured to be in several publications. 

I consider myself a true colour enthusiast, someone who is drawn to the vivid shades. 

To me, colour is not just a visual element it’s a powerful tool for expression.
I love experimenting

with rich reds, electric blues, and radiant yellows, layering them in ways that create depth and

movement.
Each piece I create serves as a celebration of colours transformative ability to evoke emotions and capture attention.

I thrive on the challenge of pushing boundaries and exploring new dimensions in my work. I find

that the more intensity and drama I can infuse into my creations, the more they resonate with

viewers.

I always rely on pure imagination when creating my work, trusting in my own creativity to

guide me through each step of the process. This instinctive approach allows me to tap into a

wellspring of ideas that might otherwise remain unexplored.

I find that deliberately avoiding

reference photos permits me to traverse my thoughts and visions more freely, enabling a level of exploration that fosters a unique artistic expression that is distinctly my own. By drawing

solely from my inner vision, I can give life to concepts and scenes that may not exist in reality,

embracing the fantastical and the surreal. This practice encourages me to push the boundaries of my imagination even further, allowing me to experiment with forms, colours, and narratives that reveal new aspects of my creative identity.
