MY COLLECTIONS

Michelle’s landscapes are a place to sit, a place to be, sinak into, reflect and think. Inspired by the natural beauty of the Western Australian coastline and coastal forest areas, her paintings are as spectacular and timeless as the locations depicted. The trees that find a place amongst the rock and hard ground, blackboys standing tall to watch over an ancient water.

Michelle requests for portraits range from Bull Dog, Race horses, favourite cars and children at play. Children on the beach playing in the sand, holds a special place for Michelle, living in Dunsborough and watching her own two children grow up on the beach with a bucket and spade, watching their playtime in their timeless escape the beach.

Flora

Michelle find the intricacy of flowers a treat to study and work on. The texture and colour that flow along the pedals are one of natures truly amazing designs and display of colour. Michelle takes the time to look deeply into the flowers she paints.

The depth and lush colour of these roses make you feel like you could run your hands over the pedals.

Nude

Michelle’s nudes painting are a study of the many wonderful lines of the body. Acrylics give the illustrated style of Michelle’s work a great vibrancy – which brings these nudes to life – but keeping them subtle and smooth in any living space.

From imaginative pieces inspired by the human form to commissioned art works, Michelle’s exporation of the beauty of the human body gives new perspective.
