Escaping the Mundane | Michelle Taylor

As a self-taught artist residing in Darwin, I take inspiration from plants and wildlife in my local area, favourites being flowers and birds. I consider myself a process artist, for me the, ‘creating and making’, are where I find the most joy. Art is my escape from the everyday mundane.

My artistic journey is a blend of traditional and experimental approaches. While oils are my primary medium, I also delve into fibre crafts, mixed media, and resin art, exploring the boundaries of creativity. As a Middle School art teacher, I'm dedicated to nurturing a love for the arts in the next generation, guiding them to express themselves freely. While realism remains my cornerstone, completing my Diploma of Arts at CDU sparked a journey of exploration. Venturing into stylized compositions and diverse mediums like acrylic, resin, and mixed media has propelled me beyond my comfort zone, enriching my artistic repertoire and pushing the boundaries of my creativity.
