The Utopian-minded artist brings her paintings to life. Literally.

San Francisco artist Michelle Blade doesn't limit her gorgeous, large-scale visions of communal revelry to two dimensions. She carries out social experiments—group hugs, trust falls, etc—and steps back to see what unfolds. She's not a hippie, just an unapologetic Northern Californian chronicling an electric moment in history.
