TESTIMONIALS

 
Hi Michelle, 
Last night Marjorie completely surprised me with the Jerry Garcia painting that you guys designed and I’m blown away!!!   I love every detail of the painting, the planning behind the scenes, the colors you selected, and most your important…. your work is amazing!
You need to know that it makes me smile every time I see it. 
I hung it immediately, and Jerry greets you as you enter our home day or night. 
Thank you again!

Yay!!! I’m so happy to be starting my Michelle Vella Collection! I love my Freddie Mercury origninal painting, and couldn't resist getting your Lady Gaga and Karl Lagerfeld all in B&W.
Believe me, I’ll buy more. I’m in love! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Honestly, this David Bowie print has saved my marriage haha. My husband never has anything to say about the art I put up in our house unless it's in the living room. I'm a graphic designer by trade, so I'm very picky about what I put on my walls. We've gone back and forth for months now and then I stumbled upon your work and we both agreed that David Bowie will be perfect hanging above our couch. We're thrilled! ~ Amber
“I fell in love with Michelle’s artwork on Instagram. I was drawn to the joyfulness and vivid colors of her pop art style with its clean lines and brilliant composition that captures the details and nuances of her subjects.
I commissioned Michelle to create a portrait with her fabulous Wide Big Eyes style that would capture my “happy place”, the beach. Working with her was an absolute delight. Michelle’s professional but casual approach made the entire process effortless and exciting for me.
The beach portrait brings joy and sunshine into our home every day, and we absolutely love it. Thank-you Michelle!”

“We commissioned Michelle for a painting of our new boathouse in Muskoka. Michelle was a delight to work with, very professional, easy to work with and incredibly creative. It was overall a wonderful experience.  The result was an amazing work of art that uniquely captured a very special moment and place in our lives!  We absolutely love it! Thanks Michelle for a beautiful painting which we proudly hang in our home.”

Working with Michelle was lots of fun and we were thrilled with end result!  Michelle worked from several photos and really listened to what was important be included and represented in the piece, from our black lab’s red collar, to the detail in my favorite scarf and the flower boxes on the dock which were made by my husband’s parents.   We cherish the special summer memory that she so beautifully captured and I’m already dreaming of a winter portrait!

Michelle Vella is an amazingly talented artist and a true professional. I instantly fell in love with her work at an art show and hired her for a private commission. She was extremely reliable and dedicated with an end result that far exceeded my expectations. I have since added to my Michelle Vella collection. Michelle’s work is remarkable and distinctive and continues to bring me a lot of joy and frequent compliments. I look forward to her continued creations and my next purchase!

Hi Michelle, 
My husband and I arrived back home today and the two art pieces are here. We LOVE them! The framing is beautiful and they look amazing. We absolutely love your work. I wish I could put it up on so many other walls. It was hard to pick just 2.  Thank you so much for taking care of the framing. We really appreciate it and look forward to enjoying your work for years to come. 
Thanks again.

I had the very good fortune of discovering Michelle Vella when she appeared on the Marilyn Denis Show several years ago and instantly fell in love with her amazing work. I live on the other side of the country, and yet Michelle and I have formed a friendship through her art. I am an avid collector of her work, and the proud owner of 4 original paintings, 3 of which I commissioned, plus eight Limited Edition Prints. Her work is nostalgic, retro, current and so fun all at the same time, adding that magic to my decor. Michelle is a pleasure to work with, her dedication and attention to detail from first brush stroke to shipping is impeccable. I highly recommend Michelle not only as a talented artist but as a caring and trustworthy business owner as well.
