ABOUT THE ARTIST
Michelle was born in Ayrshire and moved to Glasgow in her early 20s. She graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in 2006 and now works from her studio at the Briggait. She is currently represented by Art Pistol Gallery in Hillhead.
Michelle uses painting as a language to convey how her neurodivergent mind processes the environment around her, predominantly through colour and geometric forms.
Through painting, Michelle also recycles her memories, dreams and emotions as events within themselves. She uses varying subject matter to produce something tangible from her feelings and recollections, in turn creating a new sensory experience.
By breaking the image down and then restructuring it bit by bit, she gives each small part equal status, removing the idea of a main focal point, much like how she experiences her immediate surroundings.
Her process includes working in many layers, through which Michelle develops a two-way emotional dialogue with the painting itself, blurring the lines between abstract and representation.

"Color possesses me. I don't have to pursue it. It will possess me always, I know it. That is the meaning of this happy hour: Color and I are one. I am a painter.”
Paul Klee
