Works in Progress

Here, Michelle shares regular updates on her paintings in progress, giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the evolving creative process and the stories that shape each piece. For Michelle, art is a means of connecting the contemporary human experience with the wild, unspoiled landscapes of Aotearoa, deepening our understanding and fostering a greater appreciation for the natural world.

The majority of Michelle's painting are pre-sold before completion. Michelle usually has a varied collection of paintings that she is working on at any one time, as when she is inspired to paint a scene she likes to lay down the shape of the painting and the colours palette while it is fresh in her memory. Michelle may take 1-2 years to finish a painting as she works fluently with the rhythm of the art and rotates working on each of the paintings in progress. 

These updates will give you an idea of what Michelle is currently working on and how the art is progressing.
If you fall in love with painting in progress or are interested in a concept please contact Michelle for more information.
