Michelle Vella is a contemporary pop artist known
for her unique WIDE BIG EYES signature style. The
New York fashion scene quickly embraced Michelle's
style from the start. In 2015, just months into her
new career as an artist, fashion designer Diane von
Furstenberg discovered Michelle on Instagram and
asked to purchase the BIG EYE portrait she had
done of the designer, which is now part of Diane's art
collection at the DVF Fashion House in New York. Michelle has been featured
on CNN Style, The Marilyn Denis Show, Elle Canada, and W magazine.
MOXIE WIDE BIG EYES

Artist Statement
The definition of moxie is "force of character and determination," and at 97
years young, Iris Apfel, portrayed in this sculpture, has plenty of moxie. "When
you've got moxie, you need the clothes to match."

She is an inspiration to
all and sets an entire new bar of what our 90s can look like. Many of us won't
see our 90s, and many won't have the brain health to remember. This brain is
intended to inspire everyone; brain health is so important, and we must get
involved and help find a cure.
