Michele’s goal as an artist is to create engaging works, that viewers can connect with. While she paints a variety of animal subjects, all have personal meaning and importance. Once the composition is right, one of her favorite parts of beginning a new painting is choosing the palette of colors to use.
Michele currently lives in rural Saint Joseph, Minnesota, where she creates her work from her home studio. She shares her home with her husband and daughter, and two very special animal friends whom her studio is named after, their dog Summer, and cat Bella.
