History
Michelle has painted all her life. She has a business degree in finance from University of Florida (Go Gators!) and worked for Accenture in finance right out of college. She decided to take a leap of faith in 2009- she quit her job and moved to Florence, Italy to start a year long program in art school. From Florence, she moved to Islamorada in the Florida Keys to start her career in art! She opened her current Gallery at MM 81.9 in 2013 and is enjoying every moment of Gallery ownership, and getting to paint in her Gallery every day!
Specialties

She is inspired by many scuba diving excursions and snorkeling in Islamorada, the Florida Keys, the Bahamas (her family is from Green Turtle in the Abacos) and anywhere there are reefs! Along with original paintings and giclee prints, she also sells Tervis Tumblers, women's tees, children's tees, baby items, plates, platters, notecards all decorated with her artwork.
