Hi! I’m Michelle.
My middle name is Nicole.
Nicole means “peoples victory” and I love that! It’s a namesake I aspire to daily and a core value that drives me and my art.
I’m a child of God, an artist, a self-proclaimed chef, coffee enthusiast, and an alumni of Towson University amongst other things. I graduated in May 2013 with my Bachelor of Science in Art and Design, and I’ve been working and creating as a professional artist after enjoying a few years of travel.
In my work, I’m inspired by love, freedom, and identity. I believe that every single person has inexpressible worth and value; that we are each one of a kind in this world and have so much to offer. I love to use art as a vehicle to reveal that truth; and hopefully inspire that revelation in the hearts of my viewers.
Painting is one of my favorite mediums, and as I paint I worship God in the process. He inspires me and speaks to me, teaching me about His love and my worth as I create. I am made in His image and He is the ultimate Creator; making something out of nothing. In the same way, He invites me into the beautiful privilege of making something that has never existed in the world before. For me, that is the thrill of art.
