WELCOME NEW MEMBERS!
Michaelanne M. M. Collins, Sloane Becker and Dianne Becker
New Member
I’m a local artist specializing in floral and angler art (my two passions). My first career was as an architect specializing in hospital and medical facility design. Although I loved it, the need to be independently creative led me to my second career as a full-time artist.
Add to that my family’s love of fly fishing and exploring the Smokies, and now you can often find me riverside painting what my family catches. I have a wide variety of art that encapsulates hikes we’ve taken, beach and mountain vacations, wildflower discoveries, and our love of the outdoors. Frequently, you can still find me with a fly or spinner rod in hand, but it’s hard to resist painting en-plein-aire in such beautiful surroundings as our Smoky Mountains!
I hope you can find something inspiring among my collections of hand-made paper collages, original acrylic, palette knife, and fluid art canvases, watercolors, pen and ink sketches, and framed prints. I love to experiment with different mediums so that I am always learning new techniques. I also offer individual and group art classes to share my art knowledge with others.
I am a proud member of the Knoxville Arts & Culture Alliance and have exhibited several times at their Emporium Gallery in the Old City, and had one of my original iris paintings featured in the 2019 Knoxville Mayor’s Office Exhibit.
Follow me on Facebook and Instagram @M3cDesignsArt to learn about new exhibits, festivals, group art classes and more.
You can shop for an ever-changing variety of original artwork, prints and crafty finds on my Etsy site at www.Etsy.com/shop.M3cDesignsArt, and in 3 retail locations:
