Michelle Kimbrell

Michelle earned a BA in Studio Art from Georgia State University in Atlanta and an Associates Degree in Business from Georgia Perimeter College. In 2013 she continued on to become a Holmberg Arts Leadership Institute graduate. Shortly after Michelle moved to Chattanooga and in June of 2013 started an internship with AVA. Since then she has joined the staff as a membership director. Michelle is also heavily involved with giving back to the community and is a volunteer at Mark Making, an organization built around empowering people through art. Michelle has become a well-known emerging artist and is very highly involved with The Open Press, a Chattanooga print co-op as a printmaking apprentice. She is also one of the activities coordinators for CYAN, Chattanooga Young Artistic Network. Her unique style of two-dimensional mixed media has strong connections to her life and challenges the traditional views of the style. “I want people to be able to touch my art and be part of it, not just an observer but a participant,” said Michelle. Her work draws heavily from her life, family, and friends giving each of her pieces a personal touch.
