ABOUT THE ARTIST

BACKGROUND

Hafa adai! My name is Michelle Pier, and I’m a mostly self-taught artist and entrepreneur, creating some kind of art since I could hold a crayon. Born and raised on Guam (as were my parents and one of my grandparents), with a mix of indigenous Chamorro lineage, as well as European and Native American lineage. Also have raised my two children on the island. Over the past 17 years, I’ve exhibited and sold hundreds of original acrylic paintings locally on Guam and shipped abroad.  I share my love for my island with the world through my artwork, creative projects, events, and adventures. You can find and follow me on Instagram, where I post about “my life as a Guam artist.”

ARTWORK INSPIRATION

Nature is my biggest inspiration. Vivid colors, textures, and metallics are some of the key features you’ll notice in my artwork. Abstract and expressionism styles as well as some scenic landscapes, florals, seascapes, and highlights from Guam’s island culture are some of my favorites. My work is full of life and light, intended 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.

EVENTS & HISTORY

My first business EVER was actually called Fruit of the Womb. I painted on baby clothes and cloth diapers. I also sold gift baskets. Fun fact: I once received a cease and desist letter from Fruit of the Loom. I closed that business. When I started selling artworks, I called it Aura Art Creations. When I started doing events, I added another one as Inspired Living. When it was time to streamline, I combined those two into Creative Indeed in 2011.

Since running my very first business up to current, I have done live art events, led numerous painting classes, and have directed festivals and creative programs. Some of you may remember the Luna Festival that I ran for 7 years starting in 2009, as well as the Holiday Craft Fairs at Jeff’s Pirates’ Cove for 9 years. I created the 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.

I opened my first art studio in 2016, located above Mosa’s in Hagatna, but had to close it in 2019.

Then there was 2020. I continued to work from home.

In 2023 I 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 2024, I organized and collaborated with Puerto Rican artists on a mural in Arecibo, Puerto Rico.

CURRENT (2025-2026)

In 2025, I opened my 2nd Art Studio, located at Acanta Mall in Tumon, where I create and sell my original art and prints. I sometimes also feature other local artists’ work. The studio offers an after-school art program for middle and high school students. Private Paint Parties, and other Studio Bookings are available as well.

I held a large public exhibit at Dusit Place from December 2025-January 2026. We are hoping to be able to execute another one!

Continuing with a Dusit partnership, we then collaborated on a 2026 Spring Series March-May, called “Spring Into Creativity.” Includes: a monthly Sip & Paint, and a weekly Live Art showcase, both held in the Lobby Lounge.

In addition in May, I will be featuring a large-scale live art painting and Showroom Showcase near the Spa and Gourmet Cafe in the Lobby Ground Floor.

The Studio offerings, such as Private Paint Parties, and the after-school Creative Canvas program for students will continue through Summer 2026.

August 1st is the Studio First Anniversary, and going to be celebrated with a mini art festival at Acanta Mall. Live art, Live Music, and Vendors.

Fall Sessions will continue for Creative Canvas.

In December 2026, I have a solo exhibit to be held at the Guam Museum (the old cafe side).

Feel free to reach out to purchase available artworks, book a Private Paint Party, or to hire me for your project or event.
