Michelle Gagliano’s art is inspired by her deep connection to nature, rooted in her upbringing on a farm in upstate New York. She studied under renowned painter Vernon Fisher at the University of Texas, graduated summa cum laude from Plymouth State University with a major in painting and a minor in art history, and earned her MFA from American University. Gagliano has also completed prestigious residencies, including at the Chautauqua School of Art and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts.
Working from her central Virginia studio, Gagliano draws inspiration from the surrounding farmland, exploring nature's transient qualities through experimental techniques and sustainable materials. In 2018, she transitioned to eco-friendly practices, using natural pigments, oils, and handmade gessoes—an approach inspired by Renaissance masters and her commitment to sustainability.
A recipient of several awards, including the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Fellowship, Gagliano continues to captivate audiences with her innovative and environmentally conscious art.
