Michele Théberge employs drawing, painting, installation, and interactive projects to explore
connections between the material and immaterial worlds. Her work is known for its quiet,
meditative quality stemming from a long-standing meditation practice and deep study of nature
through native traditions. “Seeds of Hope,” an installation at New Museum Los Gatos invited
visitors to contribute wishes, represented by small watercolor paintings seeds. Kaiser
Permanente and UCSF Medical Centers use her paintings to create a calming atmosphere for
their patients. Théberge’s works have also been exhibited at the Museum of Kyoto, Sharjah Art
Museum, Sakai City Museum and the San Francisco Museum of Craft and Folk Art. She has been
an affiliate artist at the Headlands Center for the Arts and a resident artist at the Morris Graves
Foundation and at In Cahoots Residency in California and is recipient of two grants from the Center for Cultural Innovation.
