I’m Michelle, also known as Mysh, a self taught artist who dreams of owning a gallery one day. I travel with a vengeance to be inspired. I need a soundtrack when I paint; I toggle between the sound of rustling leaves and chirping birds or indie rock and pop / 80’s electro. I read Wallpaper, Monocle, and all manner of fiction. I have a tendency to turn left so you know where to find me.

I have a simple approach to life and Art – Be happy; a state so hard to achieve but it must be so. With every dot, every painting that I’ve created, I strive towards a feeling of contentment.

Being a pointillist, it can take me anywhere from 1 to 6 months to complete a painting, depending on canvas size. It’s time consuming to be sure. Most would give up. I get to spend a lot of time with them, so I’m able to fully invest myself into lovingly guiding each piece to its final form. I think its this kind of personal relationship with the work that brings out my best work.

Really grateful that my loyal fans, collectors, and critics love my work. My technique, which I simply call “dotting”, is a painstaking style inspired by Pointillism that is at once therapeutic and liberating. Through it I am able to collate explosive colours set against dreamy surreal landscapes featuring the animals in my life like Oscar, the mutt.
Special thanks to all who have purchased / commissioned paintings and the galleries / events that have supported my work!
