Michelle Macnamara grew up in Melbourne and lives in Byron Bay with her husband and daughter. She paints from a home studio there.
Michelle’s work often draws on daily life, and the simplicities/complexities of the human experience. The work is figurative, usually the female form, and often a kind of self-portrait.
Works are mostly in oil on canvas, Michelle has been drawing and painting since she was a teen. Since 2000 she has shown in solo and group exhibitions, and her paintings sit in private collections around Australia and overseas.
Michelle also writes and publishes children’s picture books through GreatFunBooks.co.
