Creativity is a gift that everyone has. Finding Your passion in this lifetime is all that one truly has. What TREASURES are You holding within Yourself? I love taking random objects and bringing them to life. From boxes, tissue rolls, cardboard, rocks….you name it - I’ll take them and turn them into masterpieces! I felt lost when my family moved away from nature and my school removed art classes from our curriculum. It felt like circumstances in life moved me further and further away from art, my source of expression. In my thirties, I started to do floral arrangements and I had a business partner that betrayed me and claimed my creations as her own, eventually, I decided to walk away from art. Years later, during the pandemic, I decided to turn hard times into triumphs and I came back to my passion for art, but this time in the form of painting flowers. Two Hundred and Twelve paintings later a NEW IDEA popped into My Head. - Turn My Artwork into fashion! It’s my dream to turn all my paintings into socks, shirts, dresses pillows, blankets, sarongs, headwraps, and much more, but first...... Let's start with socks :) I will forever be grateful to those who help me move toward My Goals and Dreams. Michele Y. Hurst
