Our Artists
Michelle will soon be hanging up her wings in the aviation industry as a corporate flight attendant (HR & AP). Since lockdown, Michelle has been dabbling in acrylics using brushes, knives, chopsticks, and fingers. Experimenting within the shield of her tiny Texas townhome, she has discovered her euphoric space. She has an intense thirst for creating (whether modest or taboo), which yields a joyous experience and, her pieces are evident of that.

“Your life is your message to the world..MAKE IT INSPIRING!”
I’ve spent mine encouraging others to embrace their authenticity and see the beauty, potential, and possibilities within themselves. After more than 30 years in corporate America, I retired and discovered something I never knew about myself: I was an artist. Retirement didn’t reinvent me-it simply gave me permission to discover possibilities I never imagined. What began as a creative outlet became a new way to express myself and inspire others. Today I paint possibilities through mixed media because it invites me to built layers, take risk, and embrace imperfection-just like life itself. Every piece reflects that journey: layered, evolving, and full of possibility. Possibilities are endless, and so is your story. If one of my paintings becomes part of yours, then I’ve accomplished exactly what I set out to do.
