Michelle Hunter: I Want. 20″ x 24″ Acrylic on stretched canvas

Michelle Hunter’s Brain Series is meant to help the general public gain a greater appreciation for this organ we don’t usually “think” about. The brain is a complicated organ; so much happens within the outer and inner layers at all times. This series has presented Michelle with opportunities for neurological learning and conceptual visual challenges.
