Creative Designer
My name is Michelle and my first love is Art. My truest enjoyment comes from creating and watching things grow,
whether they are people and ideas, talents and skills or plants and flowers. After spending time in the Far East I have
acquired a love of Oriental art, which is prevalent in many of my personal works. As well, I love to write, often eliciting
tears from clients, friends and family members many of whom refer to my works as “Hallmark moments”.
I have studied many mediums, all of which have offered my clients a myriad of opportunities
for me to express their sentiments. Commissioned works have included paintings, cards and
written works for anniversaries, corporate and military retirements and promotions, birthdays
and marriages. Some of the mediums used include but are not limited to:
* Landscape design and layout,
* Live and silk floral arrangements,
* Unique wedding cake designs, bouquets and corsages,
* Small business logos and media advertising,
* Pencil caricatures and portraits,
* Pastel and pencil landscapes and wall hangings,
* Interior designs,
* Oil and acrylic paintings.
