Michelle accepts a limited number of private students for sustained, individualized study in drawing and painting. Mentorship may include close critique, technical demonstrations, master-study analysis, portfolio development, and focused guidance in composition, color, materials, or artistic direction.

Sessions are available in Michelle’s DUMBO studio and online. New students are considered by inquiry.

Michelle is available for select collaborations with galleries, schools, colleges, museums, residencies, and arts organizations. Programs may include visiting artist talks, studio visits, critiques, portfolio reviews, demonstrations, panel discussions, juries, and customized educational programming.

Each collaboration is developed in response to the institution, its participants, and the particular questions or themes of the program.

Discuss an Institutional Collaboration

Michelle develops lectures and artist talks for schools, museums, ateliers, residencies, and arts organizations.

Each program is adapted to the interests, experience, and context of its audience.

Michelle develops focused workshops for schools, museums, ateliers, residencies, and independent groups. Programs may combine technical demonstration, guided exercises, discussion, and group critique.

Possible subjects include drawing, portraiture, painting, color, composition, master studies, visual perception, and the relationship between observation and invention. Each workshop is adapted to the level, interests, and needs of the participants.

Inquire About a Workshop

Michelle offers select museum, gallery, and exhibition-based programs for individuals, schools, collectors, arts organizations, and small groups. Rather than providing a general survey tour, each visit is organized around a focused artist, exhibition, historical period, or visual question.

Programs may include close-looking sessions in museums, contemporary gallery visits, exhibition walkthroughs, master-study discussions, and conversations connecting historical art with contemporary artistic practice. Each program is adapted to the interests, experience, and context of its participants.

Inquire About an Exhibition Program

Michelle considers a limited number of portrait, figurative, and other painting commissions. Each project is developed through conversation and approached as an original work of art rather than a standardized service.

To inquire, please include the intended subject, approximate dimensions, preferred timeline, and any relevant reference images.
