Welcome to my website
Welcome to my website. My name is Michelle and I am an Australian artist based in Melbourne, Victoria.
I have always had a strong desire to create and help people. In my 20’s and 30’s I studied Relaxation Massage and Shiatsu Therapy but my desire to bring healing and light into the world was reignited after my battle with stomach cancer in 2011.
Having been a full time artist since 2012, I have used art as an energy medium to allow growth and insights into my own personal healing. Over the years I have expanded into other healing modalities which has given me the opportunity to offer meditation, womens circles, workshops and energy work to others.
I am a keen student and a self confessed butterfly. I have seen through my own personal experiences, especially after my second cancer diagnosis in 2023, the benefits of combining the support of my medical practitioners with my knowledge of various complementary and alternative therapies.
There are so many avenues for creativity and healing available to us and I feel grateful that my life has given me the experiences to explore what works for me and in turn pass onto those who want to create positive life changes.
I believe there is no greater moment than when you stand in your creative power.
Important Artist Update
I am currently focusing on exploring new creative avenues and not accepting commission work at this time. Thank you for your understanding.
“At the deepest level, the creative process and the healing process arise from a single source. When you are an artist, you are a healer; A wordless trust of the same mystery is the foundation of your work and it’s integrity.”
~ Dr Rachel Naomi Remen
