About Michelle Fleur
Michelle Fleur is a multidisciplinary visual artist, illustrator, ceramicist, and educator based in Perth, Western Australia. Working across watercolour, ceramics, textiles, printmaking, and mixed media, her practice explores the intersections of nature, mythology, folklore, and the human search for meaning.
Inspired by time spent snorkelling, walking, and exploring the Australian landscape, Michelle creates vibrant, playful works that celebrate the beauty and mystery of the natural world. Sea life, animals, and wild places are recurring motifs, reflecting her fascination with our connection to the more-than-human world.
Alongside this, her work investigates beauty, femininity, and the female experience through the lens of Western folklore, mythology, and antiquity. Drawing on symbolic narratives and folkloric archetypes, she reimagines familiar stories to explore transformation, identity, and the enduring power of myth.
Michelle enjoys working across disciplines, allowing different materials and processes to inform one another in unexpected ways. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Art (Visual Art) with Honours from the Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, and teaches workshops in contemporary watercolour, mixed media, and creative journalling.
