Michelle earned B.A. degrees in Economics and in Art History from the University of Washington and an M.A. in Art History from Columbia University. Through the latter, she had the privilege of spending time with medieval manuscripts at the Met where she fell in love with marginalia. It left her with a profound delight in the subversive and indomitable creative spirit of human beings who manage to insert tiny bits of themselves in the most proscribed of formats. Michelle has also worked as an artist and art historian in schools and currently practices classical drawing and makes small books in her own studio.
