About the Item
“Somewhere Over The Rainbow” is a vibrant, high-energy original abstract painting that celebrates joy, movement, and emotional elevation. Bursting with luminous color and expressive momentum, this work feels like a visual crescendo—where intuition, optimism, and freedom collide in an uninhibited dance across the canvas.
This expansive piece invites viewers into a world beyond boundaries, where color becomes emotion and gesture becomes language. Bold sweeps of saturated turquoise, magenta, golden yellow, fiery orange, and soft neutrals intertwine in layered arcs and fluid strokes, creating a sense of lift, motion, and joyful release. The composition feels airborne—alive with momentum—echoing the sensation of rising above limitations and stepping into possibility.
Created through instinctive, expressive mark-making, “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” embraces spontaneity while maintaining a powerful visual balance. Energetic curves, looping lines, and dynamic transitions guide the eye across the surface, evoking music, rhythm, and emotional warmth. The layered translucency allows light to move through the painting, giving it depth, dimension, and an ever-shifting presence depending on the surrounding space.
At large scale, this artwork commands attention while radiating positivity and confidence. Its bold color story and sweeping gestures make it both an emotional anchor and a conversation-starting focal point—perfect for interiors that crave personality, creativity, and unapologetic expression.
“Somewhere Over The Rainbow” is an invitation to dream boldly, feel freely, and embrace the beauty of color as pure emotional energy.

About the Artist — Michelle Thomas
Michelle Thomas is a contemporary abstract artist known for her expressive mixed-media approach, instinctive mark-making, and her ability to merge emotional authenticity with sophisticated, design-forward aesthetics. Her work explores themes of introspection, identity, memory, and the internal landscapes we navigate daily. With a deep appreciation for journaling and the imperfect beauty of handwritten expression, Michelle incorporates raw materials, distressed textures, gestural markings, and symbolic fragments into her compositions.
Through layered surfaces, intuitive movement, and emotionally charged technique, she creates artwork that is both intimate and bold—capturing the tension between what is expressed and what remains unfinished. Her practice is rooted in exploration and freedom, allowing each body of work to emerge organically from mood, instinct, and sensory experience.
On the 1stDibs platform, Michelle’s artwork is presented through five curated collections, each representing a distinct facet of her evolving creative voice:
1. Urban Edge
Grit, gesture, texture, and the unfiltered emotional language of modern street art.
This collection channels the tactile energy of urban environments—graffiti-marked walls, layered posters, distressed textures, and the spontaneous visual rhythm found in city landscapes. These works often incorporate mixed media, instinctive marks, scraped surfaces, and symbolic handwriting that echo the fragmented narratives of street culture. Bold, expressive, and emotionally charged, this collection celebrates the honesty of unfiltered expression. As her creative journey evolves, Michelle continues pushing boundaries within this collection, embracing the beauty of raw, textural imperfection.
2. Bloomflow
Soft movement, expressive blooms, and the emotional warmth of nature reimagined through abstraction.
In this collection, Michelle explores floral energy not through literal representation, but through mood, gesture, and color. Loose, flowing strokes evoke petals, stems, and organic forms, while warm palettes bring a sense of comfort, joy, and natural harmony. These works blend softness with sophistication, offering uplifting compositions that feel both contemporary and deeply rooted in the emotional resonance of the natural world. Each piece feels like a moment of breath—calming, hopeful, and quietly radiant.
3. Pulse
Motion
Movement, intensity, and dynamic mark-making shaped by emotion and intuition.
This series reflects Michelle’s most instinctive, high-energy practice—compositions driven by rhythm, momentum, and expressive spontaneity. Vibrant strokes, layered gestures, and contrasting visual beats evoke the sensation of music, dance, or the shifting pulse of internal emotion. These pieces carry an electrifying sense of immediacy, celebrating the creative moment itself. Unrestrained and alive, they embody the thrill of expression and the freedom of embracing the unknown.
4. Colorplay Organica
Playful forms, bold color, and a joyful spirit of experimentation.
This vibrant collection highlights Michelle’s love of humor, boldness, and unconventional creativity. Wiggly shapes, fluid contours, and unexpected palettes come together in quirky, modern compositions bursting with personality. These works feel contemporary, fresh, and unapologetically fun—blending mid-century influences with modern design sensibilities. They invite viewers to experience art with delight and curiosity, proving that sophistication and playfulness can coexist beautifully.
5. Sculpted Stillness
Elegant restraint, sculptural surfaces, and the quiet power of texture.
In this minimalist yet deeply expressive series, Michelle allows texture itself to become the focal point. Using thick mediums, sculptural ridges, and dimensional layering, she creates monochromatic or near-monochromatic compositions with mesmerizing depth. These pieces speak in subtle tones—neutral palettes, single-color fields, and understated elegance—making them ideal for sophisticated, design-driven interiors. Built through a slow, meditative process, they reflect the beauty of stillness, tactility, and intentional simplicity.
