Michelle’s studio is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Waynesboro has been her home for nearly 30 years and it’s where she raised her children. She is a proud Grandma of six, with three living in Texas and three living in South Carolina. They spend as much time together as possible and love to play in art! In addition to running her creative business, Michelle has a full time professional career as Controller for a local investment advisory firm.

Though Michelle has been creating for many years, she began using paint to make jewelry about four years ago. It was a fun process and it seemed she just couldn’t stop! She gave it a go selling in markets toward the end of the COVID pandemic and has increased her presence in the community ever since.

Michelle is proud to say that her one of a kind pieces are being sold in two local stores and she has attended over twenty-five vendor events during 2024! (See Upcoming Vendor Shows and Stores pages for more information.)

Michelle loves to engage with people she meets to share in the process of fluid art and jewelry making. Take a class to see what it’s all about! (See Classes page to see current class offerings)
