Born in Ventura, California, Michele Bramlett has been painting for as long as she can remember.  Having grown up in a very talented family, Michele's art comes naturally to her.  Michele is the eldest daughter of Delaney Bramlett of Delaney & Bonnie and Friends, a soul powered rock & roll group in the late 60's- early 70's and Patty Stanley, an amazing wood carver/folk artist.  She is the sister of Bekka Bramlett and the cousin of Johnny Smith, both incredible vocalists/songwriters/musicians. click on painting for up close view Little Red Wolf   Michele is a painter of people.  Her paintings show the beauty, spirituality, and simplicity of the culture of the Human Being while stimulating the senses in a sensual way.  Brilliantly colored canvasses and subtle symbolism conveying messages of peace, love, oneness, and spirituality of the Human spirit are strongly influenced by her own Native American culture.	click on D&B for family links Michele with Spirit and River

It's amazing what we are capable of when we are loved, encouraged, and allowed to feel free. I want to thank my family and friends for loving my art and being forever supportive.  Thank you for believing in me." Love, Michele
