Introducing Michelle Webb

Hello, I’m Michelle, I’m 41 and I work full time, I try and make good use of my evenings but I always end up going to bed too late because I can't tear myself away from the current project.

I awoke my sleeping arty side in March this year after being at 'Art from the Heart', a shop in Harrogate owned by Dyan Reaveley. Such an inspirational place to be. I saw lots of canvases and art journals and I knew I wanted to get home and dust off my acrylic paints and start painting again as soon as possible.

I left art college in 1989 and I'd forgotten how much I loved paint and pastels. Now there's no stopping me, I'm on the ride of my life, making journal pages and canvases at every opportunity. In 1989 most inspiration came from books or art galleries. Now with the internet and the blog world, there is inspiration everywhere and I love it!

So what kind of painting do I like to do? I like using acrylics, pastels and pencils. Then I bring in the mixed media's of paper, inks, gilding flakes, modelling paste, fabric, wax and any kind of texture I can get my hands on. I like to use words on a page or painting, you get to see much more of what's in the artist's head. I like to draw images and faces and I adore colour.

I'm a 'glass is half full' kind of person and always look to the things in life that make me smile to paint about.

I'm really looking forward to sharing projects with fellow artists and bouncing ideas of each other. I love the idea of Collabor-Art and I can't wait to get started.

You can find more of my painty inky makes here at The Hobby Room
