"I am a story-teller.  I weave glimpses, a visual dance, with the ending left up to the viewer.  I hope to transport the viewer in a meditation of sorts that will engage, refresh and perhaps reveal insight.  Relationships, role playing, contemplation and whimsy are themes explored and of endless fascination to me, and I often tell a story from the knees down or using shadows and light.

Michelle's work is represented in both private and public collections in Australia and USA. She is particularly drawn to the human figure, and the human condition, seeking to draw a response from the viewer by capturing subtle gestures, private moments and evocative glances. 

In creating art, Michelle is mindful that an original work brings its own personality to the environment.  She feels that a work should breathe and occupy a space without overpowering it - revealing itself to the viewer gently but surely. Her works are often layered with unusual colours in ways that are both playful yet investigative - allowing her pieces to add a welcome and stimulating dimension to any space.
