Hello, Hello! I am Michelle, a native puddle-tromping Oregonian who loves to create beautiful, whimsical, and fun illustrations. I graduated from the University of Oregon with a bachelor's degree in cartoon animation and from the Art Institute of Portland with a bachelor's degree in Advertising. 

Several years ago while working as a graphic designer, a co-worker asked if I could illustrate her Alaskan Malamute named Gracie. I dusted off my colored pencils and instantly fell in love with creating her portrait. I opened my own illustration business soon after and have been creating fun works of art ever since. 

My husband, Doug, and I have been married for over 20 years and we currently have two Golden Doodles named Sadie and Nala. We love to travel and experience the world as much as possible, hang out with family and friends, and just overall enjoy the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
