I am Michelle Evans, a Maryland-based artist and the owner and CEO of Phoenix Flow Art. My artistic journey began after a period of service in the U.S. Air Force, followed by my education at the University of Maryland University College. Throughout my life, especially during challenging times, art has always been my safe space—a place to express myself and push my own creative boundaries.

​

I started my exploration of art with graphite, focusing on the study of the human body. This eventually led me to experiment with different painting styles and mediums. I discovered a deep love for fluid art because of its inherent lack of boundaries, which then led me to mixed media. This style allows me to combine processes and mediums that are not typically seen together, again liberating me from traditional rules.

​

My work in both fluid and mixed media art is an opportunity to create something truly unique. Each painting holds its own meaning, with every option on the table and no "glass ceiling" for what is possible. It’s just me, my heart, my imagination, and the canvas. The most rewarding part of this style is witnessing the spontaneous colliding of materials to create something new and unexpected.
