Michelle is a self taught artist who uses polymer clay and mixed media to create lifelike creatures. Most of her pieces are very small and easily fit in the palm of your hand.
 
 
 


GOAL: To create fantasy you can believe in
DREAM: I'd love to work on a Tim Burton production
WEBSITE: http://www.pixiwillow.com/

I've loved sci-fi and fantasy since I was a kid. I played role playing games like D&D and TMNT, and would often draw my own characters and those of friends as well. Unfortunately, I grew up believing that I had to leave the world of fantasy and enter the 'real world'.  Even though it had never been a career goal for me, I never totally let go of art.  Instead of the fantastic, I chose more 'acceptable' subjects...painting murals, portraits and wildlife, whenever I had extra time.  Several years ago, my daughter saw a picture in a magazine, of some faeries that Wendy Froud had created with polymer clay. Her wish to own one led me back to my roots in fantasy, but this time I was designing and sculpting  3 dimensional figures. The feeling of being able to take a piece of clay, almost give it a life of it’s own, and then hold that very creation in my hand, waiting for it to take it’s first breath is surreal. I was and am forever ... enchanted.

Oh, I love your artwork. I write fantasy fiction. The main character is a Pixie child who at birth is small enough to fit in her human father’s hand. Your work reminded me of my story. Lovely.

Your work is so amazing. It’s so life-like. Your fairies look like they can just jump up and fly away. How do you make their hair, clothes and wings?
