"Michelle Vella's portraits of celebrated icons are fun and whimsical. Her distinctive “big eyes” are so unique, the faces so recognizable, creating a personal connection, bringing back nostalgic memories that makes me smile everyday."
There is only one original painting that I hand painted with professional grade acrylic paint on gallery canvas. Every painting is hand signed on the front and the back, accompanied with a certificate of authenticity. If you don't see your favourite nostalgic icon, ask me about a custom commission. Browse my gallery and CONTACT us for more details.
“I have a personal connection to every one of Michelle's portraits I own. They bring back that nostalgic feel good feeling that makes me happy every time I look at them.”
Barbra Streisand
"I have listened to her music for years, seen all her movies, The Way We Were, Hello Dolly, Yentl - so many nostalgic memories, just thinking about them make me happy, but seeing her portrait gives me a real connection that makes me happy everyday."
Good news, the original painting is available, acrylic on canvas 24"x 24"x 1.5". She is also available in limited edition print.

Enjoy the experience of having a custom painting by Michelle Vella. In this commission of Dolly Parton, my client requested that I base it on Dolly's portrait by Andy Warhol. Collectors find it to be the most personal art piece they own, being part of the process creates a connection that they will enjoy for years to come. Art that makes them happy everyday.
Fun Fact: Watch me painting Dolly in the first few minutes of "The Andy Warhol Diaries" Ep.1 on Netflix.
