While living and working for a study abroad program in Italy for three years, Michelle Arnold Paine became fascinated by the shapes and forms of medieval architecture and art which are the context of daily life there. It was in Italy that she found her vocation as an artist and also a connection to history and tradition.

After completing a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and a M.F.A. from University of New Hampshire she taught Drawing, Painting and Design for seven years at various colleges in New England.

She has exhibited extensively in group shows and juried shows in commercial, community, non-profit and university spaces. Her work has been published in many publications which seek to explore elements of the divine: Evangelism and Culture, Christianity Today, Ruminate Magazine, Edge of Faith, CIVA’s SEENJournal, Dappled Things, Worship Leader, Imaginatio et Ratio and Intruding Upon the Timeless, a collection of essays by Greg Wolfe.

In addition to numerous private collections across the U.S., her paintings can be found in the collection of the Valparaiso University Chapel, Indiana, Rivier College, New Hampshire and Gordon College, Massachusetts. less See less
