art at the intersection of wit & whimsy

La La La Whatever - Mixed media art by Michelle Renee Bernard. Contemporary artist featured in Asbury Park, NJ and Yonkers, NY. Nostalgic, iconic, creepy-cute, whimsical, witty.
 

Hello and thanks for stopping by!

Welcome to my creative space! It’s a mixed media world where I use grungy, untamed layers and vintage-inspired graphics combined with a sticky-sweet color palette to create whimsical works of art that will have you waxing nostalgic. My penchant for the past is reflected in my creations, which bring vintage themes and iconography into a quirky modern narrative. Here you’ll get to see what I’ve been working on in the studio, find out what inspires me, how I like to work, where my ideas come from, and how my background influences the art I make today. So go ahead and take a look around…
