Houses, Pillar of Francis

Stella Michaels is a New York-based contemporary abstract painter working across enamel, acrylic, metal, and paper appliqué. Her paintings bring together architectural order, surface rhythm, atmosphere, and quiet visual authority. Moving between structure and feeling, Michaels creates works that hold space with clarity, restraint, and emotional depth. Across collections including Houses of the Holy, Symphony, Beyond the Horizon, and related abstractions, her paintings are suited for collectors, residential interiors, corporate and commercial environments, and design-led spaces seeking art with presence, intelligence, and lasting spatial impact.
