"Rather than recreating an image on a canvas I aim to express its essence through imagery reflected in nature. In order to capture this richness, I work on a number of paintings concurrently. This allows me to imitate and reflect strong elements and effective techniques from one painting to another. I am most interested in the movement of organic shapes and patterns using colour and texture. Each multi-layered painting captures some fragment of the images power until each piece coalesces to express its deepest essence."
Michelle's work is collected nationally and internationally and can be found in private and corporate collections. She spends her time painting and teaching workshops both in Canada and abroad.
