Michel is the recipient of a Joan Mitchell Foundation award, a co-recipient of a Kindling Fund grant, and three Maine Arts Commission grants. Their work is inspired by the landscape, mapping, and environmental research, queering the conversation with nineteenth-century landscape schools and naturalists.

“This work is made with the intention of bringing transformative love and light to our spaces. Inspired by the landscape, mapping, and environmental research, these paintings unravel existing grids and structures and make way for new ones. The work ties together influences from poetry, mythology, and the natural world.”
