藍玉梅生性樂觀,她習慣用肢體語言與沉思來幫助她思考與表達。在畫中,她善用多樣的色彩來創造多層次效果。藍玉梅的第一個畫展『色慾人生』,運用花 的色彩與姿態來表達女人細膩的思維。她希望她的作品能鼓勵更多的女人勇於追求屬於她們自己的夢想。
受到莫內印象派畫風的薰陶,藍玉梅運用色彩與光源來展現花的本質。利用模糊的視覺、大膽的筆觸、與豐富的色彩,更加深刻的表現實物與花的光彩與生命 力。
做為一個女人,藍玉梅相信她了解女人的需要與慾望透過她的作品,希望能給欣賞藝術的人真實的情感。她平時喜歡在日記中紀錄下她所看到、經歷到的心情 與感想,並將所得到的靈感抒發於畫布上。利用鮮明的色彩與高貴的氣息,創造出屬於她自己獨特的、別於他人的作品。藉由活躍於畫布上的色彩,她期望能持續的 創造出,能帶給欣賞者愉悅心情的作品,進而履行她的夢想。

Michelle is an optimist; she uses her body language and meditative mind to help express her thoughts. She loves to use a myriad of colours to create a multitude of paintings for each of her exhibitions. Michelle’s first exhibition entitled “Desire of the Colourful Life” expressed her thoughts through imagery of flowers. Michelle wishes to use her works to inspire more women to be strong in order to achieve their dreams.
Michelle’s painting style is inspired by Monet’s impressionism; she uses colour and light to show the images’ true element without detail. Her subjects are painted with a blurred vision using colourful brush strokes to show that they are alive and vibrant.
Being a woman, Michelle believes she understands women’s wants and desires. Through her paintings she wishes to bring true feeling to those who appreciate art. Michelle enjoys diarising her feelings and thoughts of what she sees and experiences and she firmly believes this assists expressing her spiritual energy onto canvas. Michelle differentiates and creates her own painting style by promoting a bright, colourful and elegant atmosphere. Michelle wishes to fulfill her future goals by retaining a creative painting style using fresh vibrant colours creating pleasurable feelings for those viewing her work.
