From the Artist: I had so much fun coming up with limited edition originals for Fairview's fundraiser. These pieces are inspired by "Home is Where the Heart Is" and I used regular tile grout and plaster along with my acrylics to add texture and depth to the pieces. I hope Fairview's donors will enjoy them as much as I enjoyed creating them!

Set of two paintings, these pieces are both 10"x10" acrylic, grout and plaster on canvas.

About Michelle Marra, Spirited Colorist

As far back as I can remember I had a paintbrush in my hand. My mother recognized my obsession and enrolled me in private art lessons throughout my childhood into high school. Art took a back seat while making a career and then a family. I took up my brush in earnest in 2010 and I started working in oils and realism but knew I was missing something. Taking an acrylic and abstract painting workshop in 2012 changed my focus as it allowed me to give a visual voice to my inner world. I see in swaths of color and light. Painting has become my meditation set into motion. I allow the colors and the initial marks to take me to the next step. It can be a complete joy and a complete challenge at the same time. I often say a bad day painting is better than a day of not painting at all!
