Michelle Hirstius is a self-taught artist deeply inspired by the bold, dynamic world of comic book art and Salvador Dali. Her journey began at her grandfather's dining room table, where she spent countless hours teaching herself to draw from comic books as a high school student. Now, at 52, she continues to create at that very same table, a place that has become a cornerstone of her artistic process.
Art has been her solace, helping her navigate and overcome the toughest times in life, offering healing and fulfillment. Hirstius’ passion is not just for the craft but for the powerful voice it gives her. With patriotism at her core, her art is a vibrant expression of American pride, blending bold colors and sometimes a hint of dark baroque with her comic-inspired style. For Hirstius, art is not just a profession—it’s a calling, a purpose, and a lifelong journey of expression.
On her website, you will also find her artwork on merchandise and her expression on graphic tees with original memes.
