Not For Sale

Local, retired, banker-turned-artist Michele Needham has a unique talent for finding, and then drawing, the beauties and fantastic intricacies of Death, Life and Sorrow. She started her paintings eleven years ago when she had a spiritual awakening. She has created a series, for her sister who was diagnosed and later died from cancer, of beautiful drawings that originated from different words that came to her in the waiting room at hospitals while her sister was ill. When asking for advice on drawing your own art she says: "Go with the flow and just draw what you feel!" Something else unique about her is she has never done a portrait of anyone, and doesn't plan to in the future.
