Jump into Pigment: Why I Want to be an Artist


Question: What do you want to be when you grow up?

Answer: Myself.



(Pictured left is my latest self portrait called, "The Puzzled Artist". Oil paint on puzzle pieces.)




I have created small get to know me bio explaining why I want to tread the hallowed road of the Master Artisans who have gone before me. What about art makes it so special, and what roads I could take to make it into the gallery's line up of blue chip artists.

Interesting Michelle, I didn't know you grew up here at Southwest! Your paintings and art look amazing and the story behind is quite interesting.

If we where not in a pandemic, I would meet up with the models in a place they felt most comfortable. Wither that would be in my studio, their home, or a rented studio space. But, since we are, they model in their homes or designated space of comfort and I draw them in my studio via video chat cite they are most comfortable using.


During our sessions I take screen shots with their consent for reference and my more formal drawings. Modeling requires a lot of mental fortitude and strength to stay still in sometimes awkward…
