Biography

Michelle’s exceptional journey through a relatively traditional art education and impressive professional experiences and into a determined (and successful!) quest for a cure for her debilitating lymes disease has transformed her into the successful, striking artist that she is today. Her enduring faith and hope that she engaged to find alternative health treatments provided the miraculous cure she sought for the intense pain that had kept her from her beloved studio – She’s back! Life will, of course, never be the same but her continued dedication to daily meditation and maintaining a healthy lifestyle allows her to both “get back to business” and to enjoy each day with a fresh and grateful perspective.
