Michelle Marie Brotherton was born in Geneva, New York but spent her childhood in the city of Schwetzingen in southwestern Germany. Her talent impelled her to experiment with art in high school. With her parents' support she was able to follow her passion and explore visual arts at Georgia State University in Atlanta, Georgia. There she earned a Bachelor's degree in Fine Art and minored in Art History. Although she received a broad education in many art forms at the university, she took a particular interest in printmaking, water-based media, design and photography. Her paintings, already in demand by discerning collectors, draw inspiration from such subjects as urban street art, calligraphy, figurative elements and the power of color. Michelle integrates her motifs into a wide variety of styles and series as one of America's outstanding young contemporary artists.
