About
Hi, I'm Michelle Turner, an artist who finds inspiration in the extraordinary world of birds. Their grace, colours, and freedom hold a special place in my heart, speaking to me in ways words cannot fully convey.
Using watercolour, a medium that embodies elegance, I strive to capture the essence of these magnificent creatures. My art transcends mere visual representation; each brushstroke is a labour of love aimed at celebrating the freedom and grace birds exemplify. It serves as a gentle reminder to pause, appreciate, and find solace in the simple wonders of the natural world.
I draw inspiration from the works of John James Audubon and John Gould, two icons of the ornithological world. I am influenced by Audubon's meticulous detail in 'The Birds of America' and Gould's scientific precision. Their dedication to accuracy and beauty drives me to create artworks that celebrate nature.
For those who share my passion for birds, I warmly invite you to join me on this artistic journey - exploring the enchanting world of avian allure, one brushstroke at a time.
