Michele's inspiration of mid-century aesthetics and vintage paint-by-numbers, which she collects, is evident in her paintings. She focuses on florals alone and in patterns using vibrant color palettes. Painting with gouache and acrylics in multiple thin layers she achieves a smooth finish whether on wood panel or canvas. Her background in surface pattern design informs all she creates. Michele makes feel good florals that are both vintage and modern and she hopes her art adds a bit of joy to collectors spaces. After spending a few decades in the Carolinas, Michele now resides in Pennsylvania.
