Michelle realized from early on in her creative career that manipulating multicolored fiber and glue while incorporating acrylic paint on canvas was an avenue to help her navigate and cope in unfamiliar environments.  Each piece created was a manifestation of experiences that were once suppressed or embraced and transcends the precincts of culture, religion, gender and ethnicity. 

The evolution of her work from 2-D to 3-D forms on and off wood panel correlates to her risk-taking tenacity and fearlessness to accept challenges that push the boundaries of her artistry while remaining authentic to her dexterity. Using solely multi-weighted and multicolored fiber and glue, she sculpts and enhances the forms with vibrant multi-colored effervescent hues that reference her Jamaican heritage, stimulating positive emotions. 

The whimsy of each fiber sculpture provides a softer alluring engagement with the viewer while delivering the intended message of self empowerment and optimism, increasing awareness of issues impacting human survival and evoking personal interpretations from the viewer.
