Michelle Weinberg

Michelle Weinberg creates works in painting and collage, designs rugs, tiles, mosaic and paint murals, and produces art for architecture and public spaces. Her imagery inhabits a “Pretend Dimension” in which elastic perspectives, personalized geometries and fictitious architectures elaborate stage-set like narratives. Her works in all media integrate her vision of vivid backdrops for human activity.
