Let’s Work Together

Whether you're looking for a commissioned artwork, a creative collaboration, or a tailored art workshop in Perth or regional WA, I welcome the opportunity to connect. My work is grounded in process, participation, and supporting the goals of your space, team, or project.

  • Art Therapy gives me something that only needs me to turn up. Michelle is brilliant and just listening to her go through the instructions has a calming effect.

  • Michelle was very kind to offer her support of our Vision Board Workshop in early 2025. The workshop attendees were a mix of 100 Women members and the Cana Communities WA beneficiaries, which meant that making everyone feel welcome and valued was really important to us. Michelle guided us all through the creative art session with professionalism, kindness, deep knowledge and experience. We had such wonderful feedback from the women that attended the workshop. Thank you Michelle!

  • Michelle has a relaxed and personable style, she has allowed each individual to develop within a varied group of mixed abilities. Flexibility to adapt to a group like this is not easy but has been appreciated by all giving some good results.
