Michele Batchelder

Michele was born in Namibia but moved to Durban at a young age.

She majored in painting and ceramics during a three year art course in Durban. She sold her ceramics to local art shops and galleries and when her children had grown she followed her passion for painting and became a full time artist.

Michele moved to Cape Town in 2007 and her love of painting abstracts grew! She often combines realism in her abstracts, using texture in the form of paste or sand to create movement.

She has exhibited her paintings with Bay Gallery since 2012.
