Overview

Michelle Belto is known for her richly textured images captured on her own cast paper canvases. Often described as "mysterious and intriguing," these art works explore new forms of storytelling. Some artists paint what they see, but Michelle prefers to open a window onto a story in progress, allowing us to visually eavesdrop on the subject in an emotionally charged moment of life.Her newest body of work is more autobiographical. "I have always been interested in the relationship between personal transformation and the life story." She describes her new series as "a visual memoir." Each work in the series deals with an 'aha' moment in life where consciousness has the potential of being changed forever. Some of the pieces suggest an insight or a leap in understanding. Others capture the experience of acceptance of a difficult situation. Michelle Belto titled the new series, IN THE MOMENT. The show premiered at Loft 120 Gallery at the Blue Star Complex in San Antonio, Texas.
Michelle was first drawn to paper for its textural and three-dimensional qualities. Her artwork, stabilized by a foam core center, is often displayed without framing, becoming what some call "wall sculpture." Ms. Belto's work if often commissioned for specific places.
Michelle Belto lives in the Texas hill country with her husband and a menagerie of furry creatures. She welcomes visitors to her studio and private gallery. Contact the artist by telephone or e-mail. 210-393-9768 or michelle@michellebelto.com
