From the moment I set foot in Kinglake, Michelle was one of the first artists I associated with.

Volunteering at various community events, the ‘Into the Light’ festival, the local art group and art show means that we are often working together. Michelle continued her support for Kinglake Ranges Arts when it underwent a change and the new committee greatly appreciates her involvement. She gave us a fun-filled evening as ‘artist of the month’ at our gatherings and it was hard to bring the night to a close as we were enjoying her stories so much.

Participating in many of Michelle’s pastel art workshops I discovered the beauty of pastels and learnt a completely new way to achieve vibrant colours.  She is a very generous teacher both with her time and her knowledge. May her artistic journey continue long into the future and our paths continue to cross.
