Meet the Artist

My Upcoming Events

• May 2026: Wise Man Brewing Artist of the Month

• Ongoing: Art-o-mat & monthly Junk Journal Jam at The Art SHAC

Hi, I'm Michelle, a watercolor and mixed media artist living in North Carolina with my husband and two rescue dogs. I love spending time outdoors and being in nature.

I am happiest when discovering new ways to explore my passion for nature with a paintbrush, a gel plate, and a glue stick.

I’m a proud board member of Associated Artists of Winston-Salem, and a member of the Watercolor Society of North Carolina, Collage Artists of America, High Country Plein Air Painters, Special Agent Collage Collective, Arts For Art's Sake, and Art-o-mat artists.

I am excited to share my art adventures with you and hope you might consider bringing them into your home.
