"This exciting, heart-wrenching and thought-provoking collection of work focuses on life’s journey and the pathways that inevitably emerge. Michele’s collection engages the viewer with emotionally-charged dialogue and imagery. The techniques that Michele utilizes demonstrates her mastery at manipulation of photography and digital applications."
"The Extraordinariness of Ordinariness..."
Photography, digital media and the written word help me to emphasize, what i call, "the extraordinariness of ordinariness..."
I take something seemingly ordinary and put it in the spotlight where it deserves to be. I add life to things that to many may seem lifeless. I give animation to inanimate objects with the written word.
My goal as an artist is to "affect." whether it be a laugh or a tear or a feeling of rage.To make people stop. and think. For thought is a very powerful thing.
