Michelle Mckinnon

Michelle McKinnon is an Australian artist creating original Australian artwork inspired by native flora. Her work includes native flora still life paintings and limited edition botanical art prints, created primarily in oil paint.

Working from her Australian studio, Michelle McKinnon draws on close observation of plants, form, and composition to create calm, considered artworks that invite slower looking. Her practice is shaped by a background in land management and graphic design, influencing both subject matter and structure.
