My name is Michelle.  I’ve had a love and calling for art as far back asI remember.  Since I was a little girl I have dabbled in all forms of expression.  My first art piece to be in an art show was from the second grade.

I continued to experiment with various art forms while still in school, even participating in the musical Little Shop of Horrors as both an actor and prop designer.

As I grew so did my art.  This water color is from a high school art show.  

The self portrait won a curator award in a Self-Portrait Art Show at MSU.

While I played with dark room photography, sculpting, bead work and latch hooking, I found my true calling in sketching and painting.  This time last year I hand painted wine glasses, beer steins and candle holders for Christmas gifts.  It became a love affair that I developed into a business.

One fine day my cousin recruited me to paint ostrich eggs for her bridesmaids gifts.  I gladly accepted the challenge and found myself wrapped up in another love affair that added ostrich egg painted to my repertoire.
