Hi I'm Michele
Welcome
I grew up on a hobby farm nestled between temperate eucalyptus rainforests and the ocean. Nature was my world and my happiest place — surrounded by animals, riding horses along forest trails, and helping my mother rehabilitate baby kangaroos and other rescued wildlife.
These experiences live within me and naturally flow into my art. My work is rooted in a deep connection to nature — the songs of exotic birds, the fresh scent and energy of the forest, and the beaches where sand, salt air, and rhythmic waves meet.
I create with watercolor, acrylics, oil, and mixed media, often layering natural textures and organic marks to bring a lived-in, soulful quality to each piece. Women’s faces often emerge in my work, representing the spirit of Mother Nature — her strength, softness, and the memory of where we come from.
Through my art, I seek to carry the energy and connection of nature into each painting, offering a sense of calm, wonder, and joy. I invite you to step into that space with me.
