Michaelann Bellerjeau
Michaelann paints quiet marine environments en plein air and in the studio, focusing on Florida’s wildlife and scenery. The gently lit subjects include landscapes, seascapes, wildlife, and man-made watery places where we play or work. The subjects are beautifully interpreted in a contemporary realist approach, featuring a peaceful object or figure surrounded by complexity with soft, brushy texture and color. As a conservation artist, she depicts watery scenes as a reminder to viewers that we can enjoy one of Earth’s most critical natural resources while respecting its incredible power. Michaelann’s work also serves as a testament to her passion for supporting conservation efforts to restore and protect the health of South Florida waters, conveying our world’s crucial dependence on this essential element.
Michaelann earned a B.A. in art from Montclair State University and is a signature member of Artists for Conservation, an associate member of NAWA, and a professional member of Martin Artisans Guild, board member, and President of the Martin Artisans Guild executive committee, and winner of 2024 MartinArts Council Professional Visual Artist of the Year. Her work has been awarded and exhibited at juried shows in galleries and museums, and is represented in collections worldwide. She resides with her husband and has her studio on the Treasure Coast of Florida. View her work at www.michaelannbellerjeau.com
