Michelle’s work is a rich, colourful exploration of the ideas of self, life rituals, and the experiences that shape us all. She explores rites of passage, examining the Shamanic practices she has studied and their roots in modern-day rituals. Her paintings draw on her own experiences brought to life in natural settings – rivers, seas, forests – the backdrops for her stories about vulnerability, growth, and self-discovery. All are part of a collective story to be shared.
