Michelle has studied with well-established artists of California, and was lucky enough to spend two months studying abroad in France and Germany, and during that time a two-week stint at the Angel Academy of Art in Florence, Italy.
Her work has been shown in prestigious and national shows. "There is so much information, styles, methods, and techniques being shown that an artist is always learning, no matter at what level he or she may be...Painting is an ongoing process."
Born in the Northern California, Humboldt County, mill town of Scotia, and growing up in the natural beauty of the Eel River Valley has all had an inspirational influence in Michelle's paintings. Her work is done where air, water, earth, light, and often, her subjects' movement change around her as she works on canvas. You will see those subtle nuances of nature, weather, and expression in her paintings.
She has been an artist in residency at the Morris Graves Foundation Estate and strives to capture the elusive spirit of the Northwest as he did during his long illustrious career..
