Michelle knowles

I was three years old when I picked up my first paint brush and began my journey. I wasn't to know then where it would take me and still don't (do any of us?). I grew up painting and creating artwork in anything and everything I could get my hands on. My future was mapped out for me encouraged by a pretty "Arty" family. Sometimes however life takes a turn and whilst studying Fine Art at college my whole world fell apart and I found myself having to struggle on my own and homeless on and off. Life became a series of hard exeriences, but artistically it was full of growth. Art was always there even if I had to wander away for a while. The time is right to pick up my brushes again and share my paintings. I have worked professionally as a minature model painter under the name Splintered Shield and still do the odd comission. I based in Droitwich, just outside of Worcester in the Midlands. I'm married with three young boys who all take after their mum for a love of creativity it must be in the blood. I'm eager to share my paintings with the world and bare my soul warts and all.
