""Lachesis"" the future based on the threads that were woven by the three fates of the goddesses of the Greek, mythological story- Klotho


Klotho ( present) spun the thread of life, Lachesis (the future)measured its length, Atropos(the past) cut it

The representation of the women in the story was visually told with beauty and in writings as old and ""ugly"". In all cases a thread is present in the story. This piece represents the knots of life, the illusion of time as a measure of beauty and the revealing beauty in tangled threads."


Michelle Loughery and Sveva Caetani Connection:

"I have a very personal connection to Artist Sveva Caetani as to the time me and my children lived in the Caetani House. Creating many works while living in the house and helping to raise funds to maintain the house was an experience that was life changing. The house when I moved in held a room with many of Sveva's personal belongings still there. Huge crates of letters and art, her desk with all the notes and pens still in the drawers. The furniture and art works breathed with her presence. The portrait of Sveva I painted that lives in the house was created in the house and the soul of Sveva was everywhere when the piece was created. The house and the connection so many have to Sveva is iconic and I believe Sveva is the Frida Khalo of Canada.  In 2010 I painted the mural of Sveva Caetani and her family titled "The Captive Artist" on the Schmidt optical building on 31st."


Michelle Loughery-Okanagan British Columbia:  Artistic Influences; Sveva Caetani, Marina Abramovic, Georgia O 'Keeffe, Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera


British Columbia Achievement Award winning artist Michelle Loughery’s work stretches from massive community murals, large scale portraiture, to evocative contemporary encaustic exhibition work and mixed media gallery installations.


Loughery’s work is multi-layered and involves digital story-telling and presentation during the process of the creation of each painting or mixed media gallery installation she creates. In the process of taking away layers to reveal the work beneath the surface, she also reveals cultural stories from the development of medium she creates from the bees wax and natural pigments and fabrics. Loughery has developed a visual language through her combined multi-media work of intuition and expression and Canadian cultural presentations focused on revealing women’s stories in history.


A fierce human right advocate, Loughery's story-telling is shared in the monumental art trail of stories in the memoirs she is writing and in the ""Women of Michel "" series she is working on in her studio.


Monumental work with community inclusion is a passion of Loughery's. The mural created with the fire department and families of the first responders of 911, in New York, 2012 has been featured in the Smithsonian.


Loughery created the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame series of murals, with endorsement from many celebrities. Iconic celebrities, and organizations such as Elvis Presley Estate and celebrities such as Tim McGraw, Reba McEntire and Carrie Underwood.


Loughery has developed a visual language through her combined multi-media installation work of intuition and expression with Canadian cultural presentations ""The women of Michel"" focused on revealing women’s labour stories in history.


Loughery also is the host of an artist-based podcast that focuses on art stories and her past experiences on walls around the globe. AR:T ROUTE RADIO is unique as she shares digital learning bridges with youth and seniors while building content for audiences through inclusive community art installations and digital art creation. This revealing medium shares the stories of the thousands of people that shared their cultural stories with Loughery as she spent 30 years of her life on the streets painting wayfinding monument murals in a connected community legacy trail.


The Loughery WAYFINDER ART public art model has been the impetus for raising millions of dollars for community infrastructure around the globe. A passion for showcasing mural and community art as a social economic driver was built in Loughery growing up in the British Columbia coal mining town of Michel, BC, that was forced to rebuild after a forced relocation scheme devastated the immigrant community in the 1960's. The Loughery WAYFINDER ART model has been the impetus for raising millions of dollars for community infrastructure around the globe


Her passion for youth mentorship is evident in the development of her youth and elder WAYFINDER ARTWORKS Projects that she trail blazed around the world. Over 300 community large scale murals, numerous Public Art community renewal projects, such as the BC Legacy Highway Mural Project, numerous public art installations, exhibitions and iconic multi themed art projects around the world.  Loughery has partnered with many communities, indigenous nations, government, education and community systems to support socio- economics in community revitalization and iconic tourism legacies.


Loughery’s Community model has been the subject of numerous studies in placemaking in the global community in many universities and placemaking organizations. The projects have engaged thousands of youth and seniors and the P6 strategies have been visionary in advocating for the power of the arts. Loughery’s mural and art healing mural work has been featured in numerous films and documentaries.
