The artist’s recent body of work is a response to the abstract beauty of astronomical objects, and the sound or emotional frequency they seem to emit. Schuff states that her work merges the cosmos of the mind with infinite space. Influenced by recent photographs taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, Scuff’s encaustic paintings elicit an uncanny feeling of our place in the universe.
Michelle’s work is held in private collections in the U.S., Europe, and Asia and she lives and works in Atlanta.
