Working through repetition as both meditation and method, Conway uses ritual as a central structure within her studio practice — establishing systems of order, boundaries and return. Her work repeatedly circles back to the coordinates of upstate New York, uncovering traces left behind to understand what is needed to move forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough processes of accumulation and repetition, Conway’s paintings and drawings explore ancestry, displacement and emotional inheritance. Her practice is rooted in acts of searching and retrieval, where personal memory intersects with broader ideas of geography, belonging and transmission across generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConway completed an MFA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths, University of London in 2014 and received a BA in Fine Art with First Class Honours from Atlantic Technological University in 2011.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecent exhibitions include \u003cem\u003e598 Series\u003c\/em\u003e at Molesworth Gallery (solo, 2026); \u003cem\u003eNot Just Me\u003c\/em\u003e at Andelli Art (2026); ArtEvolve Art Fair in Dublin; the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and Royal Academy Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts; and Art on a Postcard auctions in 2021, 2024 and 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarlier exhibitions include \u003cem\u003e42.7284º N, 73.6918ºW (home)\u003c\/em\u003e at Portershed Innovation Hub (solo, 2017–2018); \u003cem\u003eArt-Letter Home\u003c\/em\u003e with the China Academy of Art, touring museums across China; \u003cem\u003eThe Drawing Room\u003c\/em\u003e at Sid Motion Gallery; the Sluice Biennial in London; \u003cem\u003eA Long Way Home\u003c\/em\u003e at Bolee Gallery; \u003cem\u003eThe Human Stain\u003c\/em\u003e at Studio1.1; and \u003cem\u003eCity Stories\u003c\/em\u003e at Mission Gallery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2016, Conway won the Exeter Contemporary Open Audience Choice Award, and in 2011 she received the Paint Student of the Year award.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AOAP Projects","offers":[{"title":"No insurance (+£0)","offer_id":57733088870774,"sku":null,"price":300.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"UK insurance (+£15)","offer_id":58013631480182,"sku":null,"price":315.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Europe insurance (+£25)","offer_id":57987872326006,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rest of World insurance (+£35)","offer_id":57987872358774,"sku":null,"price":335.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2714\/0060\/files\/Artwork82.jpg?v=1778410946","url":"https:\/\/aoapprojects.com\/products\/michelle-conway-light-ii","provider":"AOAP Projects ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
