Who Am I?

The soul of my being comes out while I am painting. I have suffered with depression from when I was a young child but my culture did not accept it and it was taboo. I was diagnosed a few years ago and I have more love for myself.  I take the emotions that I am feeling and put it on the canvas, with everything that’s going on in this world from feelings, politics to energies, it is all imbedded in my paintings.

I have been a person that has always stepped back and let other people take the limelight. Most of my art was done specifically for me and my family I never brought it to the public until now… I am stepping out of my comfort zone by showing every emotion, every struggle and everything that I have been through in the course of my lifetime, so far.

My name is Michelle and I am a modern / contemporary artist who lives in Toronto Ontario with a loving husband, a beautiful daughter and a cat named Luna!
