Hello, my name is Michelle.
I am grateful you are here.
My passion for creating soulful pieces of art allows me to intuitively fill people’s lives with joy and colour, and help everyone discover how art-making can used to heal, nurture and transform themselves.
Using an abstract language of colour, pattern, forms and mark making, my art delves into the mystical, the magical and, the divinity in all things. It surrenders to the playful and simple little moments in our lives, framing instances that could otherwise go unnoticed.
Through the methods of being intuitively guided, process driven and letting curiosity reign supreme; I offer opportunities for others to connect with their authentic selves and feel a sense of creative freedom and presence. Combining my interests in breath work, meditation and ritual, I provide a space for people to dive deep as a means of healing themselves through curiosity and play. It is a wonderful way to take care of our mental health and nourish our souls.
My paintings have been exhibited in galleries throughout South Australia and are held in private collections across multiple continents. Working from my studio at Collective Haunt Inc on Kaurna land (Adelaide), I hold Intuitive Art workshops, and create wearable pieces of art as well. I have worked extensively in graphic design, which has enriched me with the knowledge of how to convey complex messages in a visual medium. Currently I am a studying Masters in Therapeutic Arts Practice working towards being a certifed Arts Therapist.
I have always healed through art since I was a little one, but now I am even more aware of the incredible gifts art -making can bring to our fast-paced lives. My life’s work is to support others in understanding that we are all born creative and that, through the wabi-sabi aesthetic of imperfection and impermanence, we can flow with our truest selves.
