What Is Elemental shell?
Elemental Shell is a blend of me (Shell being short for Michelle) and the different elements of art that I practice.
Art has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. For the last 30 years, I have explored different avenues along the growth of my abilities. Along the way, I have helped many who have wanted to try their hands at different mediums. Or I have created something that inspires or brings joy to an art lover. I believe that we all should have an aspect of art or creativity to enhance our wellbeing.
Throughout my search to find what path to extend this belief, I have taught both young, old and all in between. Taught those who want to learn the very basics of fine art, right through to those who just want to have fun. In what ever capacity, art can serve us in so many positive ways.
I have learnt that my path lies within 4 elements. Let’s explore them…….
“Creativity takes courage”
– Henri Matisse

Artworks
Some of my art pieces come from within and are a reflection of how I have interpreted the world around me. These paintings will be available for sale through artist prints or the original pieces themselves. I am currently working with printers to offer artist quality prints, so keep your eye on what comes up.
Bookbinding
One element of art that has become a wonderfull creative path for me, is medieval bookbinding. Each and every book has been lovingly created as one of a kind creations. More information and gallery in the menu above.
traveling art classes
For many years I held paint and sip classes both from my old studio and mobile sessions that came to your home or workplace. These were fun and a much loved part of my art practices. Formerly The Shiraz Palette, these classes were loved by all who took part.
After so much success in the past, I have decided to merge this element back into my teachings. As it has been in the past, it will be mobile, and as another exciting aspect, it will be taken on the road. We will be visiting outback towns and offering paint and sip to those who want to paint a landmark instead of taking a photo.
