That idea that has been bouncing around in your head has been waiting for the right time, some funding, and the perfect team to pull it off. It takes a special kind of person to pursue a dream in a low-budget environment but that is often what it takes to attract the interest of professionals in their field who are looking for a challenge. Michelle loves to be crew on these kinds of projects; the hands-on as well as documenting the process and providing promotional material for proposals and acquittals.

The Footpath Gallery is a participatory art project that transforms personal messages into pieces of artwork that are pasted directly onto a wall on Grey St in the heart of St Kilda, Melbourne.

Cultural

Regional Workshops

Michelle has a special relationship with a small town called Rubyvale up in the Gemfields region of Central Queensland where I work with Sapphires by running D.I.Y. Beer Can Studio workshops at the pub and teach residents fossickers new, no-budget, inventive ways to photograph their own gems.
