ABOUT THE ARTIST
Michelle Pier has exhibited and sold hundreds of original paintings locally on Guam and shipped abroad. The born-and-raised Guamanian has also raised her children on the island. She shares her love for Guam, nature, and beauty with the world through her artwork, creative projects, events, and adventures. You can find and follow her on Instagram, where she posts about “life as a Guam artist.”
Vivid colors, textures, and metallics are some of the key features you’ll notice in Michelle’s mesmerizing acrylic artwork. Abstract and expressionism styles as well as some scenic landscapes, florals, seascapes, and highlights from Guam’s island culture are some of Michelle’s favorites. Her work is full of life and light, to brighten up any home or office space. The brush strokes show movement and energy flow, and dynamic reflections from the metallic paints catch your eye from across the room.
Michelle does her own original work, as well as offers prints and a variety of products with her art on it. She also takes on commission projects, whether as a canvas painting, mural, wedding dress, statue, or other unique project. She has painted on site at some live art events, led numerous creative sessions and painting classes, and has created and directed festivals and creative programs. Some of you may remember the Luna Festival that Michelle ran for 7 years, as well as the Holiday Craft Fairs at Jeff’s Pirates’ Cove for 9 years. She created the huge industrial Sirena sculpture and led the art exhibit for the Electric Island Festival one year, and was also the creative director for Guam’s first Holi Festival of Colors.
In more recent years, Michelle created and ran the Creative Canvas Camp for teens as well as the 100 Strong Hearts, Strong Minds free book program for kids and teens in 2023. In 2024, she organized and collaborated with Puerto Rican artists on a mural in Arecibo, Puerto Rico.
