Michelle Parsons is a UK based oil painter specialising in organic-based paintings and commissions. Her artwork is often based on drawing marine creatures, such as lobsters, fish, and crabs, although she has also branched out to abstract artwork and portraits. Michelle’s art has been displayed in galleries throughout Essex, Sussex, and London, and she sells her work across the world to private clients, interior designers, and restaurants.

She is both an artist and part time art tutor from Billericay, England. After graduating in 1989 with a BA in Fine Art from Northumbria University, she worked in Israel creating community art and murals, before returning to her native UK in 1992. She then became an art teacher and later Head of Art at Brentwood School in Essex, before deciding to retire in 2016 to focus on painting full time.

Critiques are all about receiving help & advice from a fellow artist. Please bring along any work where you consider it is not turning out as planned, if you are not sure whether a piece is finished or not, or artwork whereby you are either not sure what to do next or how to do it.

We look forward to seeing you all on Thursday 11th April.
