Society often tries to silence or erase women's voices and identities, the vintage title "when a woman is a woman" reads as both an affirmation of womanhood and a commentary on the restrictive gender norms and expectations that women have historically been subjected to.
Michelle’s work is characterised by its bold, graphic style and its use of text and image to explore issues of power, identity, and representation. By combining found photographs with classic advertising, she creates a visual commentary on the cultural and political landscape. Her work criticises consumer culture, mass media, and gender stereotypes.
Michelle has been working as an Illustrator and collage artist for the past 26 years. A graduate from The Royal College of Art, she has been at the forefront of illustration working successful in publishing, editorial and design. Clients have included the New York Times, Apple, Sky, Channel Four and the Washington Post to name a few.
