Michelle Weinberg is a Miami and NY-based artist whose work depicts a “Pretend Dimension.” From painting and collage to rugs, mosaics, tiles and murals, Michelle renders fantastical yet familiar environments filled with vibrant color, geometry, stylized perspective and pattern — in other words, a “vivid backdrop for human activity.”

Michelle exhibits internationally, and is the recipient of a Pollock Krasner Foundation Award and the South Florida Cultural Consortium Award. She is the Creative Director of Girls' Club in Fort Lauderdale and artist/educator for Perez Art Museum’s Brick x Brick, an award-winning after-school program for teens. 

We discussed how artists can be “uniquely marginalized,” being creative in one’s work and life, articulating one’s ideas and more.
