Michel Keck
Internally driven, and emotionally charged, Keck's original abstract art and mixed media paintings have been
described as "dark yet uplifting simultaneously".
Keck works in a wide variety of mediums. When viewing Keck's
portfolio for the first time one is under the belief that the works presented are the creations of several talented artists. The
diverse collections however are the efforts of just one. Explosive abstract art paintings, contemporary mixed media collage
art, recycled art, spiritual paintings and her intricate and obsessive circle drawings are just some of the styles you will
uncover when you delve into the world of The Raw Artist.

"Keck's expansive surfaces command the attention of passers-by, reward the focus of new as well as seasoned collectors
and transform a static wall into a crystal ball. Few creations rival the pure power, active style and personal impact of Keck's
work." That is how John Yimin, advisor/caretaker of The Ioema Collection, reacts to the work of self-taught artist Michel Keck.

Michel Keck, a.k.a. The Raw Artist, is a self-taught, abstract painter from the mid-west. While Michel has been creating art in
various forms throughout her life it was not until 2003, after having
naturally reversed several serious health
conditions via a raw food diet, that she started creating her art on a full-time basis.

In a fairly short period of time, Keck accomplished
unheard of achievements for a self-taught & self-representing
artist. Selling her original abstract art & mixed media paintings via methods that most in the art world deemed
unconventional, Keck garnered the attention of astute, contemporary art collectors around the world. By the end of 2006
Keck sold over 1,500 original paintings to art collectors throughout the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Japan, Australia,
New Zealand, Netherlands, Ireland, Chile, France, Italy, Austria, Portugal, Greece, Norway, Malta, Puerto Rico
and the United Arab Emirates. To read more about how this self-representing artist made it big
