Attended Milligan College, Art Education; IUPUI Indianapolis Herron School of Art; Collin County Community College. Studied with artists Paul Sweeney, Mary Brown, Allan Flattman, Wiliam Herring, Ned Mueller, Carol Katchen, Doug Dawson, Sally Strand, William Hook, Albert Handell, Kitty Wallace and Bob Rohm.

Michelle has been a part of numerous art guilds and organizations, served as editor of monthly art newsletters, and helped produce and jury several art shows. She was a draftsman and graphic illustrator for Hurco Manufacturing for five years.

The big woods of Michelle’s childhood Indianapolis home inspired her toward painting, which then became a natural extension of her passion for the beauty she discovered there. Her work reflects her continuing fascination with all of God’s creation.

Although Michelle is experienced in oil, watercolor, acrylic and pastel, she paints primarily in pastel because of its immediacy and brilliance.
