Contemporary Art MICHELLE GORGA Abstract Paintings
Naples Abstract, Impressionist & Representational Artist
Why She Paints
Michelle made a commitment to use her gifts and skills to inspire human potential around the globe, at age 19...
" We all have gifts and strengths and when we use them, we can make great impact in the world!
All things truly are possible, when we stay in faith, focus on the vision and do the hard work!
Sometimes the focus is a life vision, and other times, it is simply the next step.
When we align with our overarching vision and goals ... that is where the magic happens.
I have witnessed it and live this philosophy. We all can! Everything really is possible.
Focus Pocus!!! That's where you will find the magic!
Our Process
Working with clients:
The process starts with understanding our clients' needs and vision.
From there, Michelle will create a customized plan and work closely
with clients to ensure their satisfaction every step of the way to bring your ideas to life.
On the other hand, most of Michelle's clients are totally comfortably and confident to give the general vision and colors, and then let the creativity flow thru the artist onto the canvas, wall or whatever the medium.

Other Inspirations
Architecture, Culture, Fashion, Interiors, Paper, People, Health, Wellness, Healing,
her GoldenDoodles, Lilly Hope and Bella
and Nature created by the greatest master of all!
Born in a quaint American town northwest of Washington DC, Michelle emerged from a lineage of creatives.
Her family's artistic flair was apparent:
her Great Grandfather, a Master Stone Mason, crafted remarkable monuments and
her childhood home. (see photo below)
Meanwhile, her Grandfather, a resilient figure shaped by the Great Depression and World War II, juggled roles as an engineer, entrepreneur, and real estate investor, all to ensure his family's welfare.
Her Great Uncle's skills as a furniture maker and Great Aunt's diverse talents as a brilliant nurse, botanical greeting card designer, and culinary enthusiast further enriched her heritage.
Among these influences, her Grandmother stood out, a business school graduate, world traveler, generous philanthropist, and a consistent presence in Michelle's life—never failing to mark special occasions with heartfelt handwritten cards and cherished Sunday calls.
Passion
Passion
"It is my passion to acknowledge,
educate, inspire, and celebrate
human potential around the globe!
I was that girl who needed" just that!
I know the value.
It's why I do the work I do.
I know the impact of kind, positive and encouraging support and what it's like not to have it.
I knew I wanted to be part of bringing forth positive light

I know the value ~ It is "the" difference.
________
Starting at age 19, Top Advanced Ballroom Dance Instructor and Sales for Midwestern US and Theatrical Arts Competitor with Fred Astaire Dance, European HealthClubs, Spin Instructor, to Classical Pilates Instructor, along side a wildly successful career as Personnel Consultant & Career Coach ...
all came to an abrupt stop in 2017...
but always an an artist...
"I started painting because it gave me a feeling of peace, joy, one with my maker and got me out of head (I like it there too) and it fuels me with a feeling of connectedness. "
Painting, writing, photography, coaching, teaching, speaking and now design products for home and fashion all move me to
inspire what is possible.
____________
It is my life's purpose to inspire human potential around the globe.
We can apply our gifts
to different mediums over a life time ~
(if we are lucky enough to get that time)
Having applied this philosophy to
career, creative, fitness, personal and professional success, and still
My method and message
is tried and true...
"You CAN do it"
(set the vision)
"ALL things POSSIBLE"
and now, after a near
fatal accident a new message
"Miracles Happen
Expect them
again and again and again."
Intrigued by exploration and discovery of what is possible~
Sometimes I paint with my hands!
