Working with ink and brush on paper, her practice is simple and patient in nature and at the root, comes from a lifelong fascination with cartoons.
Michelle instinctively balances weight across the page in black and white. Her figures communicate a dynamic energy and express emotion through their bodies. She uses bold direction and fine detail to illustrate the way each character moves, dances and carries heaviness. In method and content, her work is focused on honouring the moment between one panel and the next.
