Original Paintings
Painting taught me another way to listen
I came to painting later in life, but once I began, it quickly became much more than a creative hobby.
Painting gave me a way to explore emotion, experience, memory and intuition without needing to explain everything in words first.
Some pieces begin with a landscape.
Others begin with a feeling, a story or even a song.
What connects them is curiosity, the willingness to follow an image and see where it leads.
Below is a selection of my original work.

Reviews
"Michelle, I was beyond excited looking through your website. Whilst it's been years since I have seen you, I can see those years in your work. The pieces speak for themselves, but they also speak to you.
I love the abstracts. The mood they evoke is one of excitement and anticipation. Your choice of color is a total representation of the abundance of light you have witnessed throughout your many travels.
You have shown up on this new road as an old soul with centuries of experience that is reaching out from the canvas and drawing us in.
It is as clear as water that you have arrived. You are happy and you are loved. I was taken in today as I looked at your work. It has been years since something has awakened me to that degree. Bravo."

"Michelle's art inspires me.
Her art demonstrates for me the wisdom of the observation by James Baldwin that the purpose of art is to lay bare the questions which have been hidden by the answers.
That is why her work is on my walls and will stay there forever."
