Unique and subtle in style, there is great depth in the complex yet organic forms that emerge on the canvas in her chosen medium of Alcohol ink. After participating in group shows at home and abroad, it wasn’t long before people began to take note of her inimitable style. She soon amassed an almost cult-like following by her peers, local galleries and private collectors, gaining recognition while honing her craft in the privacy of her home studio. Her work continually reveals an innate gift for technique and an original perspective bursting with great depth and beauty.

There is an underlying grace in her work, each piece telling a multi-faceted story that reflects nature’s wonders in reality and in abstraction.

Today, Mishel is fully immersed in the artist’s life, dedicated to creating pieces for solo and group shows, private commissions, galleries, branding and for the sole joy of being able to create. Most importantly, she continues to fearlessly pursue her dream with limitless tenacity and abandon. I am awestruck by her dedication and her capacity for unlimited creativity.

Which ‘hood/area are you in?

I live in Roncesvalles, I love being surrounded by parks and nature, it is really peaceful, like living in the country, in a big city.

What do you do?

When I’m not in my studio, I’m usually spending time with my kids, family and friends.  I am a long practising yogi, I love to read, listen to music, and anything in nature inspires me.

What are you currently working on?

I am currently working on a series for an upcoming show, along with some new and exciting projects with my branding company coming in 2024!

Where can we find your work?
