Michelle Fillmore is a photorealistic contemporary artist who was born in Sacramento and raised in Las Vegas. Her passion for oil painting started when she was studying at the University of Las Vegas, where she obtained a BA in Painting and Drawing in 2015. Fillmore's paintings are known for being deeply personal, autobiographical, and using metaphorical imagery that explores themes of mental health, transformation, and imperfection.
Fillmore's work is an invitation to engage in a conversation about mental health and the stigma that surrounds it. Her work is both accessible and challenging, and it is this duality that makes her an important voice in the contemporary art world.
