Michele Lynch and her Steampunk Souls

I first discovered figurative pop surrealism artist Michele Lynch only recently, when I saw her tagged in a photo on Facebook with Mab Graves and Aunia Kahn at Alexi Era Gallery. Being a fan of the other two ladies' work, I clicked on Michele's profile straight away, and upon scrolling through her page, became completely smitten with her art. 

You can see why:

'The Plot' - Michele Lynch

'In Loving Memory' - Michele Lynch

'Katianna' - Michele Lynch

I love the way Michele explains the inspiration behind creating her amazing pieces: "The Steampunk Souls were created after working for a company where [I] nicknamed the Vice President 'The Soul Sucker'. Driving to and from work every day, [I] began to envision a group of misfit rebels that could rise up and take back their kingdom of creativity from The Soul Sucker. The Steampunk Souls became those rebels." Ha! 

Michele explores these characters and their stories through sculptures and 3D paintings, which have been exhibited all over the USA and right around the corner from me here in Melbourne at Auguste Clown Gallery.

Aside from exhibiting her work in various fabulous galleries, Michele also sells items through her online store and her Etsy shop, like these little beauties:

'Steampunk Souls Jessie' - Michele Lynch

'Vampire Bat Girls' necklaces - Michele Lynch

I recently ordered one of her print sets and I absolutely love it. Each of the prints in this limited edition set is signed and numbered on the back. 

Michele was even kind enough to include a sweet little note with the package.

The set includes: 

'Belladonna' - Michele Lynch

'Wednesday Addams' - Michele Lynch

'The Plot' - Michele Lynch 

'The Caretaker' - Michele Lynch

'Lucretia' - Michele Lynch

I popped these little darlings into plain black frames today.

And finally, here is the lady herself - just as gorgeous and fabulous as her art  ❤
