Michelle’s art process explores the relationship between place, memory, and emotion building surfaces through layering, erasure, and repetition. Her landscapes often feature flattened perspective or aerial viewpoints, offering abstracted impressions rather than literal scenes. Colour and composition are intuitive, shaped by time spent in the landscape and the emotional residue it leaves behind. Whether drawn from a specific location or a remembered sense of place, her work invites quiet attention and personal interpretation.

“Painting is how I reflect and make sense of things. It’s a way of paying attention to what I see, what I carry, and what experiences leave behind. Through layering, erasing, and revisiting, I try to hold onto things fleeting and quiet, that might otherwise go unnoticed or unresolved.”
