Juror
Michele Usibelli,
Seattle, WA

Michele Usibelli, AIS was drawn to art at an early age. After receiving her degree in Architecture from the University of Washington, Michele was able to combine her dedicated work ethic with her love of travel, working in locations throughout the world. Michele draws upon her extensive travels and life experiences as the basis of her work.

Ms. Usibelli works primarily in oils, with a flavor of impressionism, in her representational style. Her early training established a strong foundation in the Russian Impressionist tradition of seeing and painting shapes of light and color using relatively loose brushstrokes. She has extensively studied and been influenced by numerous historic artists, most notably Nicholai Fechin, John Singer Sargent and William Merritt Chase. Combined, all of these influences have allowed Michele to establish her own unique artistic style and define her as a truly versatile emerging 21st Century American Impressionist. Michele is recognized for her expressive colors and the passionate brushwork she achieves in her portraits, landscapes, still lifes and figurative work.

Michele is a member of the following organizations; Oil Painters of America, American Impressionist Society/Signature Member, National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society, Women Artists of the West, and Women Painters of Washington. To view work by Michele Usibelli, please visit her website.
