About Michelle

I am a realist artist with a deep appreciation for the intricate details that make each subject unique. My work is influenced by nature, wildlife, and a fascination with light, texture, and composition.

Originally self-taught, I refined my skills through classical atelier training under artists Rob Anderson and David Hardy, focusing on figure drawing, anatomy, and traditional oil painting techniques. Over time, my artistic interests expanded to include animals, landscapes, and still life, with a growing emphasis on wildlife art and oil painting.

My artwork is held in private collections in the U.S. and internationally. In the near future, I’ll be offering fine art prints and select merchandise featuring my work. I’m also launching a blog to share insights into the business of art, creative techniques, and industry trends.

I currently live and work in San Francisco, where I’m often found exploring new hiking trails with Wrangler, my Australian Shepherd, drawing inspiration from nature’s endless beauty.
