About

Freelance artist, painter, illustrator, graphic designer, photo and image editor. Music composition, performance, recording, sound design, and audio post-production.

My name is Michelle H.M. I am a graphic designer, illustrator, and visual artist.
In high school, I frequently shifted between Music and Fine Arts as my college Bachelor before settling on Digital Arts. However, at the suggestion of my professors and advisors, I instead chose to get an Associates Degree in Fine Arts in favor of building a portfolio from personal and professional works.

Currently, I am exploring physical and digital painting and illustration as a primary career, though I also have interest and experience in photography, graphic and website design, photo manipulation and collage, music composition, recording, performance, sound design, and audio post-production. Examples of each are available at https://www.dialtonedancer.com/

In my free time, I listen to, write, and write about music. I play guitar and sing in local Atlanta DIY band Sanity Please, for which I provide logos and visuals, in addition to operating in various booking and management roles. Music across most genres (but especially indie rock, experimental, noise, and avant-garde sub-genres) and classic, original, exploratory films by the filmmakers Hertzfeldt, Kubrick, Lynch, Tarkovsky, Bergman, et al. serve as major influences upon my work, in addition to the old masters Monet, Cezanne, Kirchner, Kandinsky, af Klint, Klimt, Kollwitz, Rothko, Rauschenberg, and Twombly.

I live in the North Georgia mountains with my partner, Esca, and our dog, Promise.

Work Terms

Though I have a baseline hourly rate of $30/hr, my pricing is generally value-based, and is determined on a client-by-client basis on variables such as the services provided, the permitted budget, the amount of work expected to be completed, etc. All pricing will be negotiated up front and no final-draft work will be provided without payment. I am open to free/donation/for-exposure work depending on client and purpose of work. Contact for details.
