A layered life, made with intention and attention.

For the ones who want to slow down, go deeper and feel more fully alive.

Original paintings, mixed media and collage. Made slowly, over time, layered. Always in process.

COLLECT.

Mixed media collage artwork with fabric, paper, and newspaper snippets in neutral tones, framed in wood by artist Michel Van Devender
Collage artwork of a stylized portrait of a girl with dark hair, one eye open, one eye winking, and the words 'that girl' in black letters. By Charlotte based abstract artist Michel Van Devender.

Most of what I make
starts without a plan
and slowly reveals itself
through attention.

EXPERIENCE.

Paying attention is a practice — to what we make, how we feel, what we notice when we get quiet enough to actually look and listen. These experiences are an invitation into that practice.

Starting with A Practice of Noticing — a self-guided 5-day experience. Coming soon.

Reflections, process and the inner life behind the work

FIELD NOTES.

The world I inhabit

The spaces and details that shape how I see and what I make.
