Artist Statement

Michelle is a self taught mixed media artist with an emphasis on papier mache, air dry clay, polymer clay, wire armatures and fabrics. She was born in San Diego and since she was a little girl, she has been drawn to the world of imagination and fairy tales. Her newest collection of EBs (Eclectic Beings) is her soul expressing itself in a childhood innocence and whimsical eccentricity. Each EB is unique and totally handmade. These unique one of a kind masterpieces will speak to you and warm your heart in a very special way.

Michelle currently works as a paralegal and spends most of her free time in her studio creating artistic treasures. She is convinced that this is her calling and hopes to bring happiness to all those who purchase her work, as she believes this to be the highest compliment and reward an artist can receive. Michelle enjoys spending time with her husband, Allen, family and friends.
