“Tess Michalik is best known for her sumptuous paintings of floral pattern motifs associated with wallpaper and textiles. Unhinged and possessed, like a merge of deKooning and Kate Spade. Flower petals are rendered in thick strokes of impasto oil paint, which has a life force of its own. The paint looks like it’s still wet, rippling with the energy of the artist.” - Provincetown Independent

Michalik has exhibited internationally in art institutions, fairs, university galleries, community spaces, and commercial galleries. Her paintings have been published internationally in Architectural Digest, Michalik’s newspaper,  “Devour,” was published in collaboration with Brooklyn based Raw Meat Collective, and was recently acquired by the Museum of Modern Art Library in New York. It is currently on display in the exhibit, “Please Knock: A Teen Album of Art” at MoMA through October 1st, 2023.
