Michelle, Your art is wonderful. In reading your bio I’ve found that you are also from Central Ohio. Super to see a local person doing soooooooo well.
Do you give classes or teach in any shops ?
Your techniques are amazing and your tutorials are very generously detailed. Keep up the excellent work !!!

Thank you so much for sharing your techniques with those of us who are intermediate stampers with hopes to refine our skills. You are a talented artist and obviously a generous soul for sharing with the masses such striking techniques.

Michelle, your talent grows and grows and you certainly are blessed with a special gift. I love your work to pieces and hold your cards near and dear and have them framed in my favorite room. Do you sell your work, sorry if that is posted somewhere. wow its so beautiful
I am so glad you have started a blog! SCS is a R&R Sundae for me. The beauty you create is the cherry on top! Your paintings, and cards as well, cause me to reflect on the beautiful scenes taken for granted daily as we traverse through our hectic lives.
Ducky Day comes to life for me. I see a bubbly little 3 yr old blonde I know called Katy. I can see her barefoot and bibbed, sitting beside our pond with a little finger to her lips saying Shhhhh!, struggling to sit quietly still, but not wanting to miss a minute of the action in front of her..Then jumping up, bursting into giggles of excitement when she can’t hold it any longer! Katy personifies the simple beauty in life…Your work does too. Thanks for taking me there…
I am in total awe. Your cards are magnificent!! As are your paintings. So happy to have found your blog! Your tutorials are super. Thank you for sharing.
Oh man, you are a true artist!!! I’m mellow moss with envy!
michelle, you are a phenomenal artist. i have always loved your stamping but i am even more amazed with your painting.

Michelle, I was just looking at all your pastel paintings and I am in awe. Your have truly been blessed as an artist. I just want to thank you for sharing all your artwork with us.
Just wanted to let you know how beautiful your work is. I have looked at many blogs and I must say you have really helped me tremendously because you’re instructions are so clear and easy to follow.
This has really boosted my confidence and I want to say thank you and God bless and keep you.
What a gift you have. Thanks for sharing. I’ll be back again and again I am sure. Can’t wait to try some of your tutorials.
Thanks!!!
I was lead to your blog by a fellow stamper and am amazed at your creativity. Your paintings are calming and beautiful and I would love to have one on my wall……thank you for sharing.
Michelle, Your pastel paintings are amazing (like all your art). I look at them and keep thinking they are photographs. The texture that you achieve in fabric, wood and stone is incredible. It looks tactile, as though, if I could touch it, I would feel the texture. Thank you so much for sharing your techniques and talents so generously here and on Splitcoast.
Your work is fantastic! I love your cards. Your tutorials are so thorough and well demonstrated. I love trying the techiques you use. Thank you so much for sharing your talents.

Thank for your work looking at your work make me want to do it reading help me to know I can. Thank You Thank You Thank You
Hello Michelle, my daughter Robyn is a SU demonstrator here and she has a passion for stampin up which comes through in her classes. She saw your web site and excitedly passed it on to me right away. I can see why. My first love was drawing and then acrylic painting. I love your pastels and must admit pastels were the first thing I purchased from Stampin Up. I regret I have not spent time with them but now I will. You have inspired me to try my old hand again. I love the stamping and sometimes the old creative me appears and I surprise myself but I usually need inspiration from someone else these days. You are very very talented. Thanks for sharing it. God Bless, Heather
Michelle, your paintings are even more beautiful than your stamped work. I’ve read about the amount of time it takes to create one of these beauties, now I can see why…the detail is incredible!!!!
Hi Michelle,
First of all I want to say that I am a definite admirer of you art.
You are an inspiration to so many people and we are all best to share your talent.
I am thinking about dusting off my pastels and oil pastels which have been sitting on the shelf for a long time.
I am leaning toward oil pastels but and would love to find some tutorials on working with oil pastels?
Do you have any available?
Which do you prefer to work with, chalks or the oil pastels?
I have a a couple of my oil paintings posted at the end of my blog. The subjects are typical of what I would want to create in oil pastels.
Do you have any suggestions on a good quality paper to use?
Any advice would be so greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Barb
Michelle! I have been visiting your website for months, enjoying and learning from your tutorials. I just noticed today that you have buttons at the top of your page! :o) I admit that. I also love painting, in addition to stamping. You are sooooo talented!! Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring others! AND, then I read about the work you do. You are wonderful!! God Bless you my stampin’ sister!!
Take care and STAY POSITIVE!!
Michelle,
I came across your blog a week or so ago, and since then I’ve been reviewing your tutorials, they are amazing. So detailed. And now that I’ve seen your paintings I understand why your cards are so beautiful. You are a ‘True Artist’.
I always have such a hard time with ‘perspective’. I can’t seem to get it right. I’m hoping I’ll improve after practicing some of your tutorials. Thank you so much for sharing your talent. . . . God bless you. Claudia
PS Your ‘Stacked Hippos’ made me laugh out loud! So cute!
i like the look you paint, there is no hard edges, even in your still life picture. keep uploading them, they are a beautiful inspiration for our cards, and we see your even more than a card maker, which is also inspiring us. thanks for the tutorials alot.
