Michelle graduated from the University of Sunderland in 1998 where she began creating the wire sculptures for which she has become renowned. Since then, her work has been widely exhibited and she has created artwork for private and public commissions.

More recently, Michelle’s work has focused on the sculpture of the human figure at its most youthful, athletic and powerful. Inspired by sport and dance, she captures the pose in suspended animation for the viewer to observe the anatomy of form, traditionally represented, albeit in a unique and contemporary way. The translucency of the mesh gives an ethereal beauty, the illusion of figures transcending the physical and soaring in to the spiritual.

The sculptures are individually created through manipulating the wire by hand, resulting in a strong and resilient piece of artwork suitable for both indoors and outdoors, powder coated for durability, with a variety of finishes including metallic or/and coloured. From miniature figures to life size; wall reliefs, airborne installations or grounded, Michelle finds a way to meet the needs of the space to be occupied, subtly blending within the environment, becoming part of it.
