Michaëlle Abraham (b. 1994) is a Haitian American multidisciplinary artist living in Atlanta, Georgia. Her practice spans abstract painting, floating ink, and paint-pour processes that embrace spontaneity, accident, and transformation. With roots in Suminagashi-inspired ink marbling, her work explores movement and intensity as metaphors for resilience, identity, and change.
Abraham’s creations have appeared in a variety of contexts, from intimate group shows to large-scale public projects. Exhibitions include Postcards from the Edge (Visual Aids, NYC), Small Wonders (Avondale Art Alliance), and the Outdoor Gallery Street Banner Project (Midtown Art Alliance), where her imagery entered the public sphere at a monumental scale.
Beyond the canvas, Abraham extends her creative vision into dialogue and storytelling. She hosted the podcast Narratives from the Black Diaspora and Beyond, a platform for critical conversations around Black/Blak cultures, heritage, identities, and health. These explorations of diasporic experience continue to inform her visual practice, weaving a cultural and conceptual foundation beneath her fluid abstract works.
Living in the Atlanta Metro, Abraham remains committed to growing her artistic practice while contributing to the vibrancy of local community. Her work celebrates fluidity — of identity, culture, and form — and seeks to offer viewers an encounter with transformation itself. Away from the studio, she can often be found in the outdoors, in neighborhood cinemas, or sharing space and conversation with friends.
As she continues to dance on this mortal coil, her time spent away from the canvas is couched in the great outdoors, local cinema, and the occasional friend's living room floor.
