Welcome!

(Website last updated June 26, 2009, summary of new items below)


My name is Michele D. (Erickson) Sommers, and I live in Front Royal, Virginia.  I am an artist who does murals, portraits, calligraphy and works on canvas.  I will travel almost anywhere to paint your mural, and of course works on canvas can be shipped anywhere, so geography is a non-issue.  My email address is Michele@sommersend.com, or give me a call at 540-635-6824.

Please feel free to take a look around.  Check back often, as I will be adding images over time, and as new projects are completed.  Thank you for stopping by!

A couple of new works on canvas I did during a break from muraling... "Turtle Too" and "Coyote" are finished, started a patriotic painting of an eagle and a flag,  in progress.

Fun Western MURAL in the works, too, you can see the stages as I work on it on the Works in Progress page... 

Another mural finished... my second Drive In Mural!   Remember the Corvettes last year?  (the stages of that one are still on the works in progress page, and the finished product is on the murals page... scroll down, it's there)  This one is very different from the other one, but same concept... started on Jan 21, you can see the early stages on the Works In Progress page...

I have some older paintings on the Works in Progress page, if you want to see the stages of some of my previous ones...


Michele D (Erickson) Sommers  lives in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia with her Husband Arthur, dogs, cats, horses, birds and fish, chickens and rabbits.  Her inspiration comes from nature and animals, which she enjoys incorporating into her work whenever possible.  Feel free to browse her website, and sign her guestbook while you're here.  Check back often, as she does try to keep the site updated with new projects!
