| About the Artist | |
As a Cuban/Irish artist, my work is a personal exploration which mirrors my own psyche, my values and my search for answers to what it means to be a person in this society. While society imprints its expectations and moldings on us all, I continually question the manner in which we are influenced to conform. For, in creating one’s own spiritual strength this adaptation can be detrimental to our inner complexity and strangle our individual perceptions of reality. In spite of society’s possible mediocrities, I paint to seek a dialogue where I can continue to laugh and keep my thirst for life. It also enables me to balance the dualities of my feminine and masculine qualities and cultivates my desire for the experience of feeling alive. |

| Education and biography | |
| Michele Tuohey was born on April 24, 1966, in Miami, Florida. Her love for the performing arts began as a young child when she danced ballet and played the organ. She studied theatre at the University of London's Westfield College in 1986 and in 1988 received her Bachelor of Science degree in performance studies from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. In 1995, Michele received her Master of Business Administration degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago. She received her Juris Doctor degree from DePaul University College of Law with a focus on international human rights and violence against women in 2000. Having experienced art censorship firsthand, Michele is outspoken about issues concerning free expression and the rights of artists. She was awarded a City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs Visual Arts CAAP grant from 1991 to 1994 and has won critical attention in numerous publications and articles. Her work has been included in many exhibitions in Illinois, Indiana, and Florida and she has appeared in several performances in the United States and London. Most recently, she has been invited by the Internal Committee of the Florence Biennale to exhibit her artwork in the next edition of the Biennale December 1-9, 2007, in Florence, Italy. Michele is a founding board member of the Latin American Museum of Art. |
