After graduating from Michaelis School for Fine Art, UCT in 2010, Michele sampled a number of creative industries including film and illustration, before taking up my first studio to pursue a career in art. From there she opened the first African branch of Dr Sketchy’s (part of an international brand of burlesque life drawing events). It was during this time that she crossed paths with renowned South African printmaker Judy Woodborne, under whose mentorship I developed my skills as a printmaker.
As a member of Woodborne’s Intaglio Studio, she offered printmaking classes and workshops and worked closely with other artists to produce hand-printed fine-art editions. Her prints have been accepted into a number of International Printmaking Biennales. Michele has taken part in numerous group exhibitions both locally and abroad and recently opened her second solo exhibition at the Association for Visual Arts (AVA) Gallery in Cape Town. Her work is often experimental, both in medium and style. She has worked largely with traditional printmaking but has often exhibited three-dimensional and mixed media work, most recently exploring the possibilities of working sculpturally with print.
