About Rochelle Millar

I am a Filipino mixed-media painter living in Canada.

My paintings explore the expression of feminine beauty through an abstract-realistic style.

Through my craft, my mission is to thrive in becoming a better artist and individual and to inspire others to take the next step into growing into the person they've always yearned to be.

From the Beginning...

Rochelle's dream was to become an author. From an early age, she loved to read books and was always inspired to write her own stories with unique characters and plots. She thrived in all of her classes that allowed her originality to shine. As she grew older, she let go of that dream and began focusing more on her academics without realizing her creative spark was diminishing. However, deep down, Rochelle knew she was bound to live a creative life. She just wasn't sure how. Throughout high school, she still took classes like photography, creative writing, and visual arts on the side. She looked forward to her art classes the most and, at first, never took them seriously until her final year of high school. Torn between two different career paths, Rochelle's art teacher convinced her to take visual arts one last time, and in her senior year, she discovered her creative calling.

Rochelle now creates art that encaptures the dreaminess of feminine beauty and elegance. Her inspiration comes deep down from her initial passion for storytelling. Her ability to connect and interpret her feelings and emotions from stories, music, and poems makes each painting unique. She spends her time in her studio developing her style and allowing her paintings to evolve into its own story.

”My intention when I paint is to evoke emotion. When people view my art, I want them to feel nostalgic and yearn to go back in time and relive their memories again. I want to move people in ways they can’t explain. Whether it’s joy, peace, longing, or whatever it maybe, they won’t know, they’ll just feel.”
