"Art has the power to heal the soul."

- Michelle Sider

I am a Michigan-based mixed media artist known for creating lush, detailed mosaics and paintings. My art explores the global themes of identity, place, spirituality and light.

Often described as having an ethereal and dramatic quality, my work is characterized by the use of bold, imaginative colors and a sense of movement, texture and flow. It is meant to evoke strong emotions. I have developed a painterly style that adds depth and dramatic detail to each finished work.

Michelle taught us to analyze the mosaic image with the eyes of a painter. The emphasis on the value of the colors, the observer's viewing path and the emphasis on the focus point greatly influenced my approach to mosaic work. Michel's warmth, patience and care are an integral part of the workshop's success.
