Michele D Wilson
Michele started her painting journey August 2022. She saw an art piece she wanted and felt like it was out of her budget. Without any knowledge about art at all. After much research she purchased her first canvas early August 2022. After doing research she purchased her first acrylic paint the latter part of August 2022. After much prayer she on to create a gallery hallway in her home. A family friend came over for the Thanksgiving holiday and she purchased a painting off the wall in her home. This is how LYFE paintings was birthed.
Michele’s passion for God’s Kingdom agenda to be accomplished here on earth shows in every piece. Her goal is to exhibit the creativity, love and will of our Creator God- Jehovah in her art.
September 1, 2023 Michele and her husband purchased Giddens Gallery of Fine Arts located in the historic district of Grapevine (624 S Main St). This purchase made her the 1st African American owned Art gallery in Historic Grapevine. In February 2024 she was featured on CBS 11 and Fort Worth Star-Telegram in celebration of Black History month.
Michele’s motto is: God blessed me with this gift, and I have dedicated my gift of art back to him. 1 Peter 4:10-11 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
