I love to draw & paint from life and from photographs. I have mostly focused on wall art in the past, and am now getting started as a freelance artist. Locally, I have competed in the Ithaca Paint Off. I am currently working on a series of commissioned pet portraits, which have been a big hit. My strength is in realistically capturing the likeness and emotional feeling of the animal.Please see my website www.michellebwheeler.com to view more of my work
