Michelle's artistic approach and vision has been evolving toward the abstract and abstract realism. Her work is often intuitive, without a clear up-front goal for what the finished piece should be, making each next move until it feels ‘done’. 

Working to create depth, subtlety and sometimes mystery, focuses on the mood and emotions the work invokes in her and that she hopes may inspire in others. 

Michelle often experiments with creating textures, and recently is experimenting  with creating collage paper from Japanese Unryu paper, which has a delicate transparency and interesting texture. You will find it in some of her mixed media work.

Michelle's artistic background and earlier work focused on portraits and representational work in general for a few years, sometimes specializing in portrait commissions. Though she currently focus more often on abstract intuitive process work, she sometimes continues to work with representational themes particularly for commissions.
