‘Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.’

Edgar Degas

A painting is a unique form of transportation. It can take you to a past experience, person, or place. It helps you envision what is possible. My goal is to create work that enhances your home or work environment, filling your space with light, color, and movement.

"This series (Fence) began with a simple bamboo fence and Hoben then realized there was so much to explore artistically with this subject matter. Her works are made more expressive by her powerful and aggressive use of line and mark making."

WETA website
"Michele Hoben's 'Through the Wire IV' was awarded for its wonderful atmospheric quality and sense of light. Your eye is carried throughout the piece by the mark making—it has a musical quality. This is a very competent artist."

Glen Perry, National Gallery of Art, Art League Juror
"Michele was great-she took the time to talk with us about her work, gave us advice on display and color choices to complement the work, and even gave us a book as a gift. Very highly recommended."
