About Oil Arts

In 1996 Michelle Nance-Bates started her art consulting business in Seattle when the downtown core was thriving with new and refurbished construction projects.  Designers and architects overwhelmed with projects reached out to Michelle to acquire and place art in their projects.  She demonstrated a talent for collaboration working with artists as well as the design community to enhance beautiful architecture with creative art solutions.  She gained a reputation with the design/architectural community in Seattle as the "go to" art consultant. Michelle and her family have now moved to Denver, where a new boom of construction projects is underway. With her finger now on the pulse of the creative scene in Denver, Michelle is excited to bring her expertise to the designers and architects in Denver market to help manage even the trickiest of deadlines.
