Volz Art

My name is Michelle Volz and I’m a contemporary landscape artist and texture junkie. Nature is my muse, and the palette knife is the tool I use to sculpt the natural world to life on canvas.

Though I do not consider myself a realist, I do try to create a sense of reality between audience and landscape.  I want you to feel like you can peel the bark off the tree, break the branch in front of you or dip your toe in the water. I recently added options for collectors to add sound to their artwork to help bring the painting to life even more.

The question I get most is where I pull my inspiration from and I’ll be honest, everywhere, and nowhere in particular. Some days it’s the hike I went on or even just a friend’s fruit trees. Whether I pull inspiration from a real place or am simply creating a new place of my own, the inspiration is always nature because nature is where I feel most grounded as a human being. It is where I find peace and I have yet to find a human who doesn’t feel similarly in nature.

As you experience my art, I hope you find yourself connecting to a place, a memory, a feeling, and then you buy the art so you can take that experience home with you.
