Biography
Brooklyn based painter, Michelle Jackson Mannix, has been developing her painting practice for 20 plus years alongside her passion for food and design, where she spent 16 years creating, and running three culinary businesses. Also a culinary educated and trained professional cook, she discovered the distinct similarities between cooking and abstract expressionism. She dove into that connection enabling her work to obtain more freedom, rhythm and expression. This expansive way of painting solidified her style as she began to embark on painting full time. While raised in a military family, living in 6 states by the time she was 13 when they settled in Virginia, she is proud to consider herself a New Yorker having lived here longer than anywhere else. This juxtaposition of connecting to a place and not being from one comes through in her art work in the chaos of the ever present line work under and over the paintings.
