The world around us mirrors what we see in ourselves... our beauty, our simplicity, our complications and our responsibilities. Nature is a part of us all and reflects who we are. As a visual storyteller it is my mission to educate, inspire and immerse my viewers in the natural world.
Michelle is an award-winning Canadian wildlife photographer who has been telling stories with her camera for more than 30 years. She has traveled to all continents in search of adventure and photographic opportunities. She is particularly celebrated for her passion for Canada and the Arctic.
