Acclaimed San Francisco artist Michelle Tholen is a master at creating lush tonal views of Northern California filtered through soft light now showing for a limited time at McEvoy Fine Art.
How Michelle Tholen Found Her Aha Moment
“When I learned that she was an accountant before becoming an artist, I was blown away.
I can only imagine what guts it took on her part and the self-awareness that she had to follow what fulfilled her.
Her showings absolutely pack a place. Michelle has an incredible following and I can see why. Her art is absolutely stunning.”
Suzannah Scully, 2011

Crown Nine in coordination with Oakland Art Murmur features Michelle Tholen
Interview with Crown Nine, “The artist draws inspiration from the natural landscapes of Northern California-we connected with her charcoal works, a collection of scenes that are dreamy and stark. She brings out the ethereal and evokes a sense of place, real or imagined, playing with contrast and emotion without fussing or overworking her pieces. “

“Tholen’s landscapes are timeless riffs that almost abstract the horizon — a mix between reflection and refraction.”
