| Biography | |
Michel Leah, a.k.a. The Raw Artist, is a self-taught, outsider artist from the mid-west. While Michel has been creating art in various forms throughout her life it was not until 2003, after having reversed several serious health conditions, that she started creating her art on a full-time basis.
Michel's brush name, The Raw Artist , holds two meanings. Her trademarked nickname pertains, in most part, to her raw food lifestyle; the lifestyle that she attributes to saving her life. But her alias, The Raw Artist, has a second meaning as well. It also refers to the very nature of Michel's art. Michel has had no formal art training. Michel is a self taught artist that marches solely to the beat of her own drum.
In June 2003 Michel started selling her works online. Through the international exposure of the internet, The Raw Artist's works are included in over 1,000 private and corporate collections throughout the U.S., Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Chile, London, France, Italy, Austria, Portugal, Greece, Norway, Malta and other European countries.
In 2006, through the success of her online art sales, Michel and her husband Scott opened a fine art publishing company to offer giclees of Michel's works. The Raw Artist Giclee vendors include not only contemporary art galleries and upscale, furniture showrooms, but several prestigious interior design firms as well.
Internally driven, and emotionally charged, Michel's works have been described as "dark yet uplifting simultaneously". Michel dabbles in a wide variety of styles and mediums. Explosive abstracts, mixed media collage art, recycled art, spiritual paintings and her intricate and obsessive circle drawings are just some of the styles you will uncover when you delve into the unusual and unconventional world of The Raw Artist.
"Michel Leah's work is truly unique. Often you see an artist's work and your first thought is "it's derivative." It reminds you of Pollack, Klee, Scarlett or Miro. This is not the case with Michel Leah. In addition to being wholly original, her work is powerful, exudes emotion and can be, at times, both dark and uplifting simultaneously. We own one of her works and I know that we will come to own more. Michel is also an inspirational person when one looks at the challenges she has faced in her life. Her experiences clearly come out through her art. To me there is no art more exciting than that which is new, different and being created by "outsider" artists who eschew the gallery system, push the outside of the envelope and, further, not only create outside the box but have thrown that box in the trash. One does not have to read my comments to be convinced of Michel's talent - her work speaks far louder than I." --- J. Johnson, Mill Valley, California |
