Words & Images: Michelyah (blog here; website here)

I’m drawn to things aesthetically pleasing to the eye. I have a quiet
demeanor. At times I will appear aloof and uninterested in new surroundings.
You may never get to really know me  and I’m completely fine with that. If
you do have the opportunity to truly know me then you’ll know I’m not just
the quiet front I put on.

I go by the name Michelyah…I guess you can call that my artist name, which
is odd for me to say. As a child I’ve always said if I become known for
something that will be the name I go by. I’m a native of Atlanta, Georgia
who had no choice but to become artistically inclined. With a mother who is
a talented seamstress and jewelry designer and a father who dabbles in
furniture design, architecture and drawing I started exploring art at a
young age. As a woman growing into her own I find that my femininity is what inspires my work.
