Leavenworth WA based artist Michelle Anderst creates detailed oil paintings which serve as emissaries for the natural world and are inspired by untouched wilderness and complex ecosystems. Her lush depictions of fungi, plants, insects, moths and microscopic organisms illuminate the intricate beauty of a world often overlooked. These curious-looking organisms intersect with archetypal geometry and describe the illusory divine formula of underlying evolutionary growth patterns. Each painting is created with intention and spell work in servitude to the natural world.

Anderst studied classical art at Southern Oregon School of Fine Art and received her certification in Scientific Illustration at University of Washington.
