Intimate works about connection and change
Hi, I’m Michelle
I have always looked closely — at the curve of a branch, the texture of skin, the quiet movement of light across a wall. My first love was drawing. In it, I found a way of seeing. A way of holding the world still long enough to understand it. Making art is the way I connect most deeply with the world. It helps me explore time, memory, and the delicate balance between human life and nature.
My work exists in the space between the human body and the natural world . I’m attracted to repeating patterns in life. I see them in the branching of nerves mirrored in roots, rivers, and highways. The slow decay of walls echoes the lines of age on skin. I use these forms to show how we connect with our world. To express the ache of loving a world we so often wound.
My process is intuitive and experimental. I build, erase, and layer; I combine traditional materials in untraditional ways. Each piece grows from curiosity and risk. This reflects the changing nature of memory and life itself. My work shows complexity through textures and contrasts. It captures the push and pull between stillness and movement, and fragility and strength..
My purpose is to create art that reconnects us — to memory, to nature, and to the delicate, enduring thread between them.
