Michaelin Otis is a nationally known,, painter, author, illustrator and workshop instructor.
Michaelin has developed an innovative technique of painting watercolor on a hand made surface, enabling her to varnish and frame the piece without glass. She also paints traditional watercolors, and acrylic collage. A lover of color, she uses saturated color and bold values to create her art. Her favorite subjects are people and animals, with her goal of capturing a bit of their soul with color and shape.
Her new work starts with an abstract design and then she adds a realistic drawing to add meaning to the shape.
