About Michelle's Artwork

The majority of Michelle's work consists of watercolor paintings, but she also works in pastel, pen and ink, and pencil, as well as photographing nature's beauty. More recently she began offering her services as a portrait photographer.

For years she gave away her original art work as gifts, and then began making her own greeting cards for family and friends. Finally, in January of 2007 she began Wildflower Studio and started selling her cards to stores, boutiques, and companies, as well as individuals.

Over the summer of 2007 she joined the artists of RORO Artworks Publishing Co. who currently carry 6 of her cards under the RORO logo. They are a great company and a wonderful group of people who sell their products online at roropublishing.com as well as in stores locally, around the country, and abroad.

Michelle's latest products for Wildflower Studio are baby onesies and t-shirts with her artwork printed on them, which she also hand-signs, creating wearable art.

You can also find her artwork on magnets, as well as matted prints and canvas totes.

Recently she has expanded her handmade goods to include "Sew Sweet" handmade baby gift sets, blankets, and "Happy Earth" eco-friendly canvas shopping/tote bags printed with her art! (A wonderful and stylish alternative to paper and plastic!)
