exploring colour and line within the medium of glass

ABOUT MICHELLE:

Michelle operates her kiln-formed glass studio, Payne in the Glass, from her home in Don Valley. Her work is an ongoing investigation into colour and line. She incorporates thin glass rods, glass powder and glass shards into her work. She sometimes also uses copper mesh and imitation gold and silver leaf to achieve particular effects. Recently Michelle has been aiming for a more painterly effect to tell her story - letting the kiln create movement and shapes where it will.

Michelle creates her decorative pieces in the kiln over 12 hours.

Michelle recently has been focussing on macro nature photography. “This is where I get to hone in on the often unseen. It lets me stop for a minute to meditate on and soak up the wonder of nature”.

Michelle studied photography at Photography Studies College and has exhibited and photographed for events over the years.

Michelle holds a Graduate Certificate in Visual Art from the Victorian College of the Arts and a Graduate Diploma in Visual Art from Monash University.

Michelle will be participating in Yarra Valley Open Studios on 26 & 27 October 2024 and will be including her macro photography along with her glass.
