I am a photographer, writer, photo stylist, and mixed media artist. A self-proclaimed, Jill of All Trades, No Jack About It! I have been published in various Stampington magazines (Somerset Studio, Somerset Apprentice, Mingle, Green Craft to name but a few) and a few home decor magazines such as Cottages & Bungalows and Vintage Celebrations.

I do have a confession to make however...all of this was accomplished around being a stay-at-home mother of three, a wife, and homemaker.

Having documented my life so thoroughly, whether it be traveling to exotic locations, to the everyday meanderings of my friends and family, I now have thousands of images to show for it, both in digital and film mediums. As a hobby, I soon resurrected my junior high love for painting and collaging.

I have been DIY gal from the beginning, choosing rather the road of experience than through the conventional methods of education. I am now ready to share what I know and what I've learned along the way. Even the mistakes, for my mistakes, are GREAT lessons.

Throughout my experiences and by continually practicing my passions for photography, writing my adventures down, and some serious Collage Therapy along the way, I have learned to tell a story. Now it's time to share my stories and the gifts they've each given me that have added depth and meaning to my NOT so cookie-cutter life.

This just in...I have resurrected my dream of a greeting card company. Mishka Greetings. Starting small I have now a line of blank cards on Etsy. www.etsy.com/shop/MichelleEBlack
