1. How long have you been making art?
I've been making art for a little over ten years now. It seems like longer than that!
![](http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_430xN.163428640.jpg)
2. Do you have a special spot in your home as a studio? Tell us about it
I do! I do a lot of my pen and gouache works on paper, here at home. I live in a one bedroom apartment, and my "studio" shares my living room space.
I have a separate studio in the industrial area of Portland where I use my oil paints. I share the space with 40 other artists. We all have our own little areas separated my walls made from recycled materials.

3. Where do you see yourself in five years?
I have no idea! Ha! I'd love to still be making art and hopefully full time. I work part time at a local grocery store. They take good care of me there, and provide full health benefits, dental, vision, paid vacation/sick time, and 401(k). Once I can pay for all that with my art, alone, I'll quit my job!

4. What was the coolest sale you ever made?
There have been so many! I think one of the very coolest has to be when I sold some prints to a movie production company.
One of the prints ended up in the movie "The Town" with Ben affleck and Blake Lively. My boyfriend and I went to go see the movie, to see if we could see my work, and lo and behold we saw it! That was really awesome!

5. Tell us about a new skill you would like to learn
I'd love to learn how to knit! it seems so relaxing and I love a good cozy sweater. Plus I could make cute sweaters for my little dog!
You could win this print!

I collect typewriters and this print is *perfect*.
I visited your shop and am taken with the mixed-media illustration featuring a what looks like a Royal or a Remington (!!).
Do you ever do custom illustrations of these? I own a bubblegum pink smith corona that I think would make a beautiful picture in your capable hands.
Also, I *heart* Michelle on Etsy
