About

Michele Pierson (b. 1993) is a Philadelphia-based metaphysical painter whose work is inspired by enigmatic realms where thoughts, feelings, and dreams intertwine.

“Just as dreams have the power to reveal hidden truths, my paintings offer a glimpse into the uncharted territories of the subconscious mind.”
