I've been so blessed to meet and work with amazing clients and collectors. Here are some of the most beautiful messages I've received.

I had 3 commission artworks done with Michelle. Despite being highly unusual requests she delivered paintings to a standard beyond what I expected and in a timely manner. She was a pleasure from start to end and I would highly recommend her services.

Michelle’s work is incredible! We were gifted one of her live paintings for our wedding and were extremely impressed with the attention to detail, the effort and the amazing end result. Michelle herself is also so lovely and easy to communicate with. Would recommend her service!!

We are in awe of the painting. Honestly you have such a talent. It’s like a literal photo has been printed on it. So much detail and so realistic. We can’t thank you enough for being there on our day and what a gift is it to receive this painting. This work seems like it should be in an art gallery.
Thank you so much. Also for having it dropped off. All the best for you Michelle. Tim + Chloe |

Michelle is an incredibly talented artist and, to put it simply, a wonderful human being.
We are so thankful that Michelle took the time out of her busy schedule to come along to our wedding and did two paintings for us - a detailed 20 x 24” painting of us standing at the altar and an abstract 12x12” painting of our lion dance. There is nothing we would change about our paintings - it was really important to us that the artist be present in person to capture all the vibes and emotions at our wedding. Michelle did all that and more, and we’re so happy she enjoyed our wedding enough to stay until the very end! Michelle really listened to us and implemented exactly what we wanted, and it really shows in her work. Our facial expressions perfectly capture how we were feeling on the day (which can be so hard to do!) and really stayed true to the actual events of the day. There were a couple of things that did not go to plan with the venue for the ceremony and Michelle was able to make some tweaks to the painting so that we have a memory we can look at that doesn’t remind us of the little things which weren’t perfect! Safe to say, after my dog, these paintings are the first things I will grab if my house were ever to be set on fire, that’s how important these are to us. We found the perfect spot in our bedroom to hang the detailed painting so we can wake up to this memory every morning. I would highly recommend having Michelle paint at any special event, or commission a painting from a photo. Yes, it is a fair amount of money to spend for an event but it is so worth supporting someone with so much creativity, talent and passion for what they do. We spoke to many wedding painters in the process and none of them had the same warmth and care which Michelle showed us from the very start and carried through our entire wedding journey. Over around 6 months, I’d say I had over 50 back and forth email communications with Michelle and she was so responsive and engaged throughout, even though a lot of the time I probably inundated her with unnecessary details and changed my mind a few too many times! Thanks for your patience and care, Michelle. She also finished our paintings in under a month after the wedding, which is an incredibly quick turnaround time given the level of detail which went into the paintings. We are currently saving up for a painting we have our eye on which Michelle has for sale on Bluethumb - love her art style and can’t wait to add to my Mishy gallery! Much love and thanks, Michelle - Carolyn & Andrew |

Michelle captured the essence of our wedding day perfectly in the two 8x10 paintings she created for us of our first kiss and ceremony location. They were so beautifully painted and will be hung in our home and treasured forever. Thank you Michelle for creating something so special for us!

I was fortunate to have Michelle paint my wedding ceremony and reception. Attention to detail is remarkable and she captured the essence of both so beautifully. I appreciate her enthusiasm and whole hearted approach with wide-eyed excitement.
Over the years I've trusted Michelle's creativity and process, and left it in her hands to capture the important day. I couldn't be more happier with the result of the paintings and I can't wait for her to paint more special moments! Thank you, Michelle Kristel + Marc |

Michelle did a custom artwork for a surprise gift for my partner. I sent a black and white photo of our engagement shoot in which Michelle absolutely nailed the painting brief. It’s now a forever piece that will be hung in our home. Thanks so much Michelle. I highly recommend working with such a talented artist.

What can I say? You were a dream to work with from the start. You made us feel secure in the decision we were making - your beautiful nature made all our communications so easy! It was such a special moment having you paint our wedding - booking you over a year out, it was a long time coming! We are so BLOWN AWAY by how our painting turned out. We are so so happy with it and have no doubt it was WORTH EVERY CENT to us! We cannot thank you enough for all the hard work you put into our painting :) Thank you a million! Emily + Lachlan |

Michelle was wonderful - we can’t recommend her highly enough! We learned about her on instagram from our celebrant (yay Bev Hurtado!) and immediately got in touch. Michelle was so lovely discussing packages, plans and details of our painting. It was such a fabulous addition on the day too - our guests loved stopping by to see the painting’s progress throughout the night. The painting is fantastic and we have a spot ready to hang it in our dining room where we can see it every day :)

I commissioned a painting for my parents from Michelle and I couldn’t be happier. Michelle was really great at designing my painting and really took the time to make sure she got every detail I wanted. I really appreciated the updates she gave me and she really went above and beyond to add in next details to make it that much more special. My parents were so overwhelmed by the painting and I can’t even describe how much they love it. Michelle has made a piece that my family can treasure forever.

Hi. i have just bought (Fading from Memory), I saw this painting some months ago but needed to purchase an apartment first to see if it would work there. It will be on display high in the Arc building on Clarence street and look Eastwards over Sydney cbd. There are multiple gold/yellow hues in the view (e.g Grace Hotel, Westfield tower) and i incorporated this theme inside with touches like brushed gold frames, titanium gold cutlery. The palate of Fading from Memory fits well into this theme. I looked through many 100s of pieces of art and sometimes you just see something and something clicks for some reason. This was one of those moments. The subconscious in action before the conscious has time to reason.
- Philip L. Purchased 'Fading from memory' and 'Kitten' |

Having a live portrait commissioned at my wedding was something I knew I needed as soon as Joel and I got engaged. I was so happy when I found Michelle on Instagram and got her booked in. Being the bride meant I sort of only got a glimpse of the painting as we were whisked around by our photographer but I checked in to all the updates on Instagram and was blown away. The portrait is absolutely perfect, right down to the later addition of our dog. The guests thought Michelle was incredible and so do I. If you’re wondering whether or not to book a live painting at your wedding, I can’t recommend Michelle enough! Thank you for an unforgettable experience and a life-long souvenir.

Hi Michelle
I have just receive "beauty' and 'overthinking', and they are even more wonderful than I ever imagined. I have goosebumps just looking at them. They fill me with a deep sense of self awareness and calm and delight in the world I have been waiting to buy your paintings for some time. I fell in love with a heritage listed Victorian home in the blue mountains ten years ago, and finally got to buy it. We will be taking ownership in November. Your paintings will the the anchor of the house, and we will be getting furniture to match your work, not the other way round! PS I studied art at college for a year or two, and I not only admire the work overall, but your technique is brilliant - composition, use of tone, drawing us into the character so we forget who we are - brilliant! - Liesl Y. Purchased 'There is still beauty to be found in this world' and 'Overthinking' to hang as the main artworks in a heritage-listed Victorian home in the Blue Mountains |

This painting looks amazing!! I absolutely love it!!! I can not wait to put it up on my wall, you've done an amazing job at merging these to special moments for us!!

Thanks again for putting the time to create it for us, we love it. - Gabby and Augustine Commissioned this 16x20in painting of their wedding from 2019.

“I did thorough research on an appropriate way to commemorate 10 years since we lost our Mother - Emma, and lucky for me, I found Michelle and her wonderful paintings. One that had especially caught my eye, was her very beautiful painting of her mother.
Michelle’s communication was excellent and frequent. Since the first email, she was extremely responsive, empathetic, patient, kind and had great suggestions that added a special touch/connection to the 3x paintings I ordered for myself and my siblings. The paintings capture our mums beauty and turned out better than i ever thought possible. I would highly recommend Michelle. You are in safe hands and will not be disappointed. Thank you Michelle for everything and for making my mums anniversary a very special one for my family and I.” - Memory N. Commissioned 3 paintings of her mother as gifts for her and her siblings to honour their mother during the 10 year anniversary of her death. |

Michelle has a way of capturing the heart of a portrait and I wholeheartedly recommend a commission for anyone wanting to gift something truly special to a loved one or for themselves! I was unfortunately limited with photos of less than desired quality (as they were images of my dad and grandparents when they were quite young) but she blew me away with her skill. And next time (because there will be a next time!) I will certainly be back with photos of better quality! Thank you so much for your patience, quick execution and generosity of talent :)

Seeing it in person it was so beautiful and stunning my breath got taken away, it transported me right back to that special day we all went to the creek. It was like Milo's happy soul was right in front of me, I even got a bit teary! ❤️ Thank you so so very much, this is so incredibly special and I can easily say everyone in the family is going to cherish it. ❤️
And thank you so much for your note and your small print! I very much appreciate them both, and the print has now found a place on my wall! The colours were absolutely gorgeous, and I love being able to admire it. I'm so happy I was able to get such a special portrait by someone so passionate and skilled, and I'm glad I've been able to support you while we face these trying times. So, thank you so much, from the start of considering the idea to now receiving the magnificent and moving final piece this has been a lovely experience, it's been a pleasure to go through the process (and watch your artistic process!) with you. Michelle's art has beautifully captured the heart and soul of mum and our beloved dog, Milo. To have a gorgeous portrait of a photo we reminisce over often, this is so special! - Grace K Commissioned an A4 drawing of her mother with her adorable dog, Milo, who has passed on.

This is my second commission from the lovely Michelle and I am always blown away by the results! It was a present for my sister who has a love for indoor plants and it could not have been any more perfect! After sending in a lot of photos and ideas that I was throwing around, she was able to sort through it all and the composition that she came up with was exactly what I had pictured. She was very professional, quick and friendly. 11/10 would recommend to everyone, thank you again Michelle! <3

I had been coveting I’m Still the Queen for a long time when last year my boyfriend gifted it to me for my birthday. I was thrilled. It was and still is bar none my favorite piece of artwork in our house. The painting is even more stunning in person. A photo can’t do justice to the texture of the paint or to the flashes of gold in it. It is a such beautiful and powerful piece of work. Thank you for creating such lovely artwork.
