Michelle Florence

Inspired by color, Michelle understands how color impacts our daily lives and emotions. Growing up in Texas, she was never satisfied with a Crayola box of 64 crayons – she wanted more! At age 3, Michelle used that box of crayons to bring life to her boring white walls. Today, her art (and walls) continues to be filled with vivid colors that evoke cheerful and bright emotions in her graphic/pop art style. The mediums she enjoys include acrylic, gouache, watercolor, fused and stained glass, photography, clay, and pen and ink. Whether with a brush, pen, or mouse, Michelle strives to create art that brings a smile to her audience.

Michelle’s artistic pursuits have earned recognition in Texas, where her works on canvas, photography, and graphic design have been honored with numerous awards. She is currently in an exhibition at Rice University-Glasscock School. Her artwork is also found at Art Machine Gallery in Sawyer Yards and along SH 6 south on two traffic control boxes. Recently, Michelle was the featured artist at the “Art in the Bend” art festival in Richmond, TX, where she will also decorate two traffic control boxes later in 2024.
