	1\, 2008-January 20\, 2009 Laura Rathe Fine Art presents Art Works. On
	 view December 11\, 2008 through January 20\, 2009.Featured Artist: Mi
	chelle Y. Williams.Michelle Y. Williams\, Artist's Statement:The inspi
	ration for my work is both selective and indiscriminate. After the ini
	tial influence sparks the beginning of a painting\, the piece generall
	y takes on a vision of it's own\, a relationship develops between us a
	nd occasionally conflicts must be overcome...art imitates life. At oth
	er times it's very passionate and I'm in the moment\, not questioning 
	the end result\, trusting it will take me where it wants to go. Workin
	g on canvas\, metal\, Plexiglas and wood\, I paint exclusively with a 
	palette knife and use various materials in my mixed media work\, inclu
	ding acrylics\, oils and raw materials such as sand.My work has evolve
	d over the years and continues to undergo numerous transformations. Un
	wittingly challenging the notion that consistency and logical progress
	ion are prerequisites for legitimization in a career\, my signature al
	one remains my signature style. I am both a patron of the arts\, findi
	ng immense pleasure in collecting fine art\, and benefactor\, using my
	 work as a means for supporting worthy causes. The ultimate intention 
	of my work is to evoke an emotional response. A strong feeling of any 
	kind\, good or bad\, indicates passion\, and with that we truly can li
	ve life to its absolute fullestThis will be a charity event\, 15% of p
	roceeds will go to Houston Children's Charity\, an organization dedica
	ted to improving the quality of life for Greater Houston's underprivil
	eged\, abused\, and handicapped children who have been otherwise left 
	behind. \n
