Roam Through The Green Hills by Michelle Keighley - Print

Michelle traces her love of painting back to her late Grandfather, a talented landscape artist. “The smell of oil, turps and the old furniture of his studio blended together and was seared into my memory” she recalls. One of Michelle’s most treasured memories was painting with her Mum Dorothy who sadly passed away at age 46. It was around a decade before Michelle picked up a brush again. She says, “it has been an emotional journey to end up where I am now as a full-time artist”. Michelle draws her landscape inspiration from locations mostly along Australia’s east coast. Now living on the Fraser Coast, she continues to seek fresh ideas and opportunities to capture the coastal lighting & flora found uniquely in the region. “I love being in nature and I am grateful for the creative fuel it provides me”.
