THE ARTIST

phonetic pronunciation is meek-eye-elle

Michaëlle Abraham (b. 1994) is a Haitian American multidisciplinary artist and writer living in Atlanta, Georgia. As a multidisplinary creative, her work encompasses a wide range of practices. From abstract ink paintings that embrace spontaneity, accident, and transformation to monochromatic illustrations, she appreciates movement and intensity at throughout her works.

Beyond the canvas, she extends her creative vision into orality and literary arts. The podcast Narratives from the Black Diaspora and Beyond is 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.  Michaëlle's creations have appeared in a variety of contexts, from intimate group shows to large-scale public projects. Her most recent exhibitions include Postcards from the Edge (Visual Aids, NYC), Small Wonders (Avondale Art Alliance), and the Midtown Outdoor Gallery Street Banner Project (Midtown Art Alliance), where her imagery entered the public sphere on a larger scale.

Living in the Atlanta Metro, she remains committed to growing her artistic practice while contributing to the vibrancy of local community. Michaëlle's work seeks to celebrate fluidity in all form while offering viewers an  opportunity to explore her expansive nature. Away from her studio, she can often be found with friends, relishing the great outdoors, neighborhood cinemas, local EDM shows, and her living room floor basking under warm afternoon sunlight.
