Artist Michelle Torrez
From
Denver, Michelle Torrez was raised in a working-class family and showed early
art talent. She graduated from the Colorado Institute of Art in 1987 and then
became an art director for an advertising agency. In 1994, she formed a mural
painting company for businesses and homes, but later turned to painting for
herself using subjects from her own life. She was invited to China and Hong
Kong to teach painting to women in a glass factory, and the stimulation and
desire to express her emotions rather than representational subjects led her to
abstraction.
