'''Michelle Stuart''' (born 1933) is an American multidisciplinary artist known for her sculpture, painting and environmental art. She is based in New York City.<ref name=":0" />
== Early life == Stuart was born in 1933 and she grew up in Los Angeles, California.<ref name=":0" /> Adventurers, explorers, and artists were present on both sides of her family tree.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Stuart |first=Michelle |title=Michelle Stuart: sculptural objects: journeys in & out of the studio |date=2010 |publisher=Charta |isbn=978-88-8158-803-9 |location=Milano}}</ref> According to the Smithsonian's oral history interview with Stuart in the Archives of American Art, Stuart's mother grew up in an upper-middle-class family in Switzerland: her maternal grandfather was an engineer, and her maternal grandmother had a lace-making business. Tragically, Stuart's maternal grandmother died when her mother was just 16. Around that time, her maternal grandfather, well aware of the imminent German threat in Europe after WWI, led his extended family to leave Switzerland. The family moved to Sydney, Australia, a place the grandfather had been enamored of in his world-wide travels and where he had relatives.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=2017 |title=Oral history interview with Michelle Stuart, 2015 November 3-2017 May 23 |url=https://www.aaa.si.edu/download_pdf_transcript/ajax?record_id=edanmdm-AAADCD_oh_373755 |website=Smithsonian Archives of American Art}}</ref>
It was here in Sydney that Stuart's parents met and fell in love. Her father, who was 20 years older than her mother, ran a plumbing supplies import-export business for which he had travelled extensively. The couple married in Sydney, and with a baby on the way, the couple moved to the burgeoning city of Los Angeles, where Stuart was born.<ref name=":1" />
As an only child, Stuart was close with both of her parents. Her father's business had succumbed at the height of the Great Depression, but he was able to secure work using his engineer working skills on efforts of the Boulder Dam, later named the Hoover Dam.<ref name=":1" />
After attending Chouinard Art Institute (now the California Institute of the Arts), Stuart worked as a topological draftsperson. She worked in Mexico about 1951 as a studio assistant to Diego Rivera.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.interviewmagazine.com/art/michelle-stuart-theatre-of-memory/#_|title=Michelle Stuart's Mythologies|work=Interview Magazine|access-date=4 March 2017}}</ref> She married Catalan artist José Bartoli in 1953.<ref name=":0" /> She lived for 3 years in Paris, then moved to New York, where she has resided since 1957.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/30/arts/design/michelle-stuarts-work-at-the-parrish-art-museum.html|title=Michelle Stuart's Work at the Parrish Art Museum|last=Kino|first=Carol|date=29 August 2013|newspaper=The New York Times|issn=0362-4331|access-date=18 March 2016}}</ref><ref>Anna Lovatt, "Michelle Stuart: Drawn from Nature."

In the early phase of her career, Stuart drew inspiration from recently released photographs of the surface of the Moon and saw parallels between her early rubbings and these lunar landscapes.{{Citation needed|date=December 2019}} This body of luminous monochromatic drawings brought land art into the gallery.{{Citation needed|date=December 2019}} During this time, Stuart investigated other means of addressing specific sites through her landworks or, as she terms them, "drawings in the landscape".{{Citation needed|date=December 2019}} In ''Niagara Gorge Path Relocated'' (1975), the artist situated a 460-foot scroll of paper cascading down a large bank of the Niagara River Gorge at Art Park.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.artltdmag.com/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1399667620&archive=&start_from=&ucat=28&|title=art ltd. magazine|website=www.artltdmag.com|access-date=18 March 2016}}</ref>
Throughout her career her art has figured in reviews of the work of women artists.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Sheets|first1=Hilarie M.|title=Female Artists Are (Finally) Getting Their Turn|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/03/arts/design/the-resurgence-of-women-only-art-shows.html?_r=0|accessdate=9 June 2017|work=The New York Times|date=29 March 2016}}</ref>
In the 1980s, Stuart shifted her focus.{{Citation needed|date=December 2019}} She embarked on a series of gridded paintings that introduced beeswax, seashells, blossoms, leaves and sand embedded in an encaustic surface.{{Citation needed|date=December 2019}} Stuart also created complex multi-media installations involving light and sound elements.{{Citation needed|date=December 2019}}
Her series titled ''Extinct'' (1993) was inspired by a Victorian-era album of leaves.{{Citation needed|date=December 2019}} For one work in the series, she revisited the grid formation, but this time placed a variety of dried plants within each compartment.{{Citation needed|date=December 2019}} During this time, Stuart also created the ''Seed Calendar'' drawings, which employ the grid to map the maturation stages of a seed.{{Citation needed|date=December 2019}}
Throughout her career, Stuart has also sought to manifest her love of literature and the writing process through a variety of strategies.{{Citation needed|date=December 2019}} In the early 70s, she began to create the Rock Book series, artworks that in their use of natural materials from specific sites might be considered alternative travel logs.{{Citation needed|date=December 2019}} These works take the form of tattered, bound journals made of earth rubbings.{{Citation needed|date=December 2019}} For example, in ''Homage to the Owl from Four Corners'' (1985), earth, owl feathers, string and beeswax are brought together to form a book.{{Citation needed|date=December 2019}}
Stuart has published artists' books, including ''The Fall'' (1976), a book-length prose poem about keeping historical records and ''Butterflies and Moths'' (2006).{{Citation needed|date=December 2019}}
Stuart currently lives and works in New York City and Amagansett, Long Island.
