Artist Michelle Bird Celebrates a Decade in Iceland with Her Series: “The Horse, The Girl, and The Highlands”

Michelle Bird marks the 10th anniversary of her life in Iceland with her series of paintings and drawings that embody the essence of Iceland. Titled “The Horse, The Girl, and The Highlands,” this collection weaves together 3 recurring elements as in a mantra: the spirited horse, the independent woman, and the untamed wilderness. These motifs, appearing in most of her paintings, are like a mystical trinity, and evoke the raw, transcendent beauty of Iceland.
