Current Artist: Michelle Dyson

In Michelle Dyson's own words:

"Where Magic Plays" is inspired by Ardan Garden in Howth Dublin. I came across their photos on Instagram and felt an immediate connection. The garden is overflowing with charm, sculptures and floral magic. After contacting the owners of the garden and getting permission to use their images, I couldn't stop painting. I could feel myself being transported into the garden with every color and brush stoke. Deciding what size to paint is left up to intuition. At times I needed to paint some scenes multiple times in different arrangements. When a place speaks to your artist soul, painting becomes a compulsion. I am besotted with Ardan Garden."

Michelle Dyson is a classically trained artist working in New Hampshire. She has been a public school art teacher for 30 years. When she is not teaching, she is painting in her home studio and working in her garden. Painting is her passion and teaching is her calling. Michelle has been showing her work for over 20 years in galleries, shops, and restaurants in NH and MA. When not working on a new series of paintings, Michelle can be found painting murals for local business in NH - most recently Shorty's Mexican roadhouse.

Michelle also painted both of our beautiful murals located in our cozy alley spaces here at Apotheca! Her work can also be found throughout the shop and cafe!
