“As I paint my sense of place intensifies and time disappears. I love pursuing the beauty that surrounds us and the pleasure my efforts bring to others."            - Michele Combs

My Visual language celebrates the beauty I find in our world. As an impressionist oil painter, I love color, thick paint, and the way light dances on everyday scenes. I paint landscapes, animals, and people, - those quiet, meaningful moments and ordinary days that touch the heart.

‍
What inspires me most is the emotional connection: a cherished memory, a sense of awe, or pure curiosity. With every canvas, I invite you to share that feeling with me.

‍
In my career I’ve participated in and judged plein air events, taught workshops, and mentored emerging artists. I’ve been juried into national exhibitions with the American Impressionist Society, Women Artists of the West, National Oil & Acrylic Painters’ Society, and Arts North International. Locally, I’m active with Outdoor Painters of Minnesota and the Minnesota Artists Association.

‍
My paintings can be found in private and corporate collections.
