Footnotes: Biography Michele has been practicing art from a young age, drawing and painting throughout her childhood. She went on to enrol at the Royal Leamington School of Art when she was 16. Since then she has enjoyed a hugely diverse career history, all of which feed into her wide variety of arts. From heading to the USSR as a nanny and teacher of art and craft to Ireland looking after horses, then studying and drawing wildlife in Africa, tagging seal pups in Wales and guarding rare Osprey for the RSPB in Scotland. Michele's extensive collection demonstrates her passion for different mediums of art, featuring a variety of somewhat disturbing, yet deeply meaningful sculptures, textile quilts, plaster animal heads.
