She's licensed work to designers and consultants for projects large and small. "Artist and naturalist, I'm curious about how nature inspires awe, how we feel it deep in our bones, how to express that connection, and what we can learn from it. At its heart, painting is my attempt to translate our interdependence with the intelligence of the natural world into a visual language that encourages people to think about its mysteries with curiosity and care rather than certainty. I'm interested in the kind of not-knowing that opens us to critical thinking, humility, and wonder." Trained in studio art, graphic design, and landscape architecture, Michelle Louis' studio extends to her yard, where she nurtures an edible landscape. BA, University of Wisconsin, USA.
