Michelle Waters was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, into an artistic, progressive family. Her grandparents were social justice activists and artists who were big influences on her art and life. She has been making art since she was a small child and holds a B.A. in Studio Art from the University of California, Santa Cruz. Her art expresses concern for the loss of the natural world and human exploitation of animals and is influenced by her environmental and animal rights activism and volunteer work in wildlife rehabilitation and cat rescue.
She donates proceeds from art sales to grassroots groups working for animals and the Earth. Michelle is represented by Cactus Gallery in Los Angeles, and has exhibited widely throughout the U.S. She lives and paints in the redwood forest in Northern California with her husband and rescued cats, and their neighbors the deer, owls, coyotes, bobcats, squirrels, woodpeckers, hawks, jays, lizards, frogs, opossums, skunks, raccoons, foxes, mountain lions and other creatures.
Michelle is available for commissions.
