Michaelann Bellerjeau
Michaelann's art is a unique blend of marine subjects and conservation. Her fascination with the people, nature, and sultry feel of Florida is evident in her oil paintings, which she creates en plein air and in the studio. She interprets her impressions with a mix of realistic technical applications, expressive lighting, and abstract, multi-layered textures. This unique approach gives her work a peaceful, focused subject surrounded by the complexity and dimension of nature. More than just art, Michaelann's work is a tool to support conservation efforts for clean South Florida waters and the restoration of the Everglades, local fisheries, and marine life to their former health and richness.
Michaelann earned a BA in art from Montclair State University and studied with many noted national artists. She is a member of Artists for Conservation (Signature), the American Society of Marine Artists, Martin Artisans Guild. She is a sitting board member and newsletter editor of the Martin Artisans Guild. Her work has been collected, shown, and awarded at juried shows in museums, as well as at galleries and m plein-air events. Her work is represented in collections worldwide. She resides with her husband on the beach on the Treasure Coast of Florida.
