ABOUT Abstract by M²

My name is Michelle Hillier, and I reside in Boardman, Ohio. I am a self-taught artist specializing in one of a kind, custom, abstract art. I have been creating abstract art for 25+ years.

The inspiration for my compositions come from within. I allow the visions I see in my head and feel inside my heart flow from the paint brush onto my canvas. My paintings are created to inspire others to interpret and perceive through their own perception.

As a self-taught artist, Abstract by M2 showcases my unique ability to create art in different genres. My artwork entails a mixture of oil, acrylic, plaster, and wood. These one of a kind, well-established pieces are custom, and never reproduced. This site provides a space in which to display my latest works and share my creative aspirations with a wider audience.

I am pleased to announce that I have won “Collection of Voices” Meijer Art Contest. My selected piece will be marketed on merchandise for their Pride Collection in June 2023.
