Michelle Imbach was born and raised in the beautiful Napa Valley in Northern California, where she currently still resides with a houseful of animals that bring her constant inspiration. She has sold art in nearly all 50 states, as well as a handful of European and Asian countries, and she currently has a contract with Signature Housewares to bring her art into the larger consumer market via ceramicware. She is working with Napa based companies Nanci Kerby Photography and Tulocay's Made in Napa Valley to produce high quality graphic print work, and with the retail manager of the Houston SPCA to expand revenues to aid animal cruelty prevention. Michelle is especially pleased to be using her talents to further animal welfare, and you can help the cause by buying HSPCA merchandise with her designs.

Known for her whimsy, Michelle has sold more than 650 original watercolor and ink paintings. She hopes to move into the worlds of greeting cards and children's book illustration within the next few years in order to reach the greatest audience with her endearing characters. When it comes to art-making, the sky is the limit; Michelle creates in paint, ink, clay, bronze, steel, wood, stone and of course, computer graphics programs. She also has a wide range of styles at her fingertips and easily switches back and forth from Graphic Design to illustration, from playful to serious and then back again. Michelle does logo design and commissioned art on the side as she pursues her dream of commercial illustration. You can reach Michelle personally by sending an email to shellioop@gmail.com.
