Mirrors of texture past  

          like          bubbles in a peaceful stream 

              each          connected to the ribbon of continuity 

                   but          as a winter snowflake

                         each          different, yet the same

 affordable access to textural visions

Most antiquities in her collection span from the 10th. To 19th. Century. Some are the subjects of her painting, others have been painstakingly applied as a border, accent or overlay to her original paintings. But each is a work of art within a work of art. Dealers from around the world work with Michelle in procuring these treasured artifacts with a mother as an Artist, Michelle had the benefit at an early age of art classes, which gave her the foundation to begin experimenting with color and texture.

Great art never dies as long as there is an audience to appreciate it. And in some ways, artisans long forgotten never die, as long as their art can be seen. So enjoy.
