{"title":"Michelle Reid","description":"\u003cp\u003eMichelle Reid is an award-winning Canadian artist whose vibrant work is deeply rooted in the quiet space she cultivated during a chaotic childhood. Though her roots began in Quebec City, Kingston, Ontario, is the only true home she has ever known, establishing a deep connection to the regional landscapes she now paints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the second youngest of eight siblings, and raised in a very busy, loud house that often served as a \"rotating door of others in need,\" Reid's early life was a continuous study in high-volume community. To find balance, she mastered the art of retreating inward, learning to disappear into a world of her own creation and creating space for herself by saying nothing at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis profound history of seeking tranquility is the driving force behind her work today. Translating that precious inner sanctuary onto canvas, Reid’s distinct abstract-impressionism is celebrated for its ability to bottle light, evoke the spirit of a place, and inspire hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer commitment to mastery has earned her recognition in the highest circles, including an invitation to the international Silk Road: Artists' Rendezvous cultural exchange in China and the national award commission for the monumental altar art, \"Sacred Space.\" Reid’s paintings don't just decorate a space; they offer a much-needed moment of transcendent peace.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/kingstonartistevents.com\/collections\/michelle-reid.oembed","provider":"Kingston Artist Events","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
