Nell Revel-Smith is a contemporary impressionist whose love of the Northern Michigan landscape has inspired her lush floral-filled landscape and still life paintings. Simplicity and spontaneity are two qualities that reflect the mood and motivation behind the work you see. Nell feels art history is the key to understanding painting. She has studied in Europe and has had art history training in her four years at Michigan State University.
Although initially an abstract painter, the self-taught Revel-Smith became more and more influenced with the French Impressionists. Studying the French impressionists, such as Monet, Sisley and Pissaro, have been a continual inspiration for Nell's ongoing love of painting.
