Michaela is a self taught artist based in Gloucestershire, England. She specialises in Acrylic Portraits and Landscapes paintings. Michaela is a prolific painter. She paints landscapes using an expressionist approach. She loves capturing varying light, moody skies and sunsets locally and beyond.
Her deep passion for painting was discovered as a child when she painted her first oil on canvas at the age of 10 and sold her first oil painting aged 12. At 19 years old Michaela started her full time career as a freelance artist. Michaela has produced artwork for the BBC, Cancer Research and author Jilly Cooper.
Most recently Michaela contributed to Tom Crofts Portrait for NHS Heroes initiative. Her first portrait was selected to be on the cover of Artists & Illustrators Magazine. A later portrait of Sam & Harriet was selected among thousands and published in ‘NHS Portraits for Heroes Book’ by Bloomsbury Publishing and was also exhibited with Google Arts & Culture Exhibition online.
Michaela also loves to inspire others to paint and regularly hosts Artsy Social Sessions in Cirencester. Her sessions for children and adults have grown in popularity and resulted in her curating an ‘Artsy Social Community Art Exhibition’ at the Corinium Museum, Cirencester.
