Michelle is a contemporary intuitive artist whose work is deeply inspired by the natural landscapes of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario.  Michelle grew up on the West Coast of BC working as a lifeguard, competitive swimmer, forestry worker, and First Nations teacher's assistant while living in Alberta.  Surrounded by ocean, forests and coastal light shaped an early connection to nature, movement and atmosphere that continues to influence her paintings today.  In addition to her painting practice, Michelle Hudson is also an intuitive art instructor and Reiki Master who guides creative workshops and women's retreats focused on self expression, using painting as a space for reflection, healing and personal growth.
