Years of Experience Bringing Art to the World
Based in Burbank, California, Michelle Speak is an artist and creator dedicated to "capturing moments in time." Her eclectic body of work spans from bespoke handcrafted ornaments to expansive public art installations, all united by a passion for community, storytelling, and vivid imagery.
The Art and the Aesthetic
Michelle’s signature style marries realism with a vibrant, nostalgic flair. Her paintings often feature dreamy, fun, and bold colors that pay homage to the classic vintage poster artists who paved the way for modern creators. Whether she is designing custom pieces or exploring her own personal passions, her portfolio is rich with diverse subjects and mediums:
Pop Culture & Cinema: A deep love for film and television shines through her work. Her shop features a wide array of art prints inspired by classic horror icons (like Bela Lugosi and Alfred Hitchcock), Halloween staples, and beloved modern favorites like Stranger Things and Over the Garden Wall.
Custom Craftsmanship: Beyond traditional prints and canvases, Michelle creates highly sought-after bespoke wooden and resin ornaments, carefully handcrafting custom photo pieces and character-inspired art.
Vintage Charm: Her use of bold, blocky colors and realistic subjects creates an aesthetic that is both timeless and distinctly modern, designed to spark the imagination.
Art in the Community
Michelle is a firm believer that art should be accessible, inclusive, and lived-in. She is well-known locally for her contributions to public art, including her vibrant work on the Burbank Arts Utility Box project. Her piece, "What's Your Favorite Season?", showcases her ability to transform everyday city infrastructure into a dreamy, colorful celebration of the four seasons.
For Michelle, public art does more than just brighten up a neighborhood—it fosters a sense of community. She approaches every project with the understanding that everyone wants to be invited into a space in one way or another, using her art as the welcoming embrace that brings her community together.
