Michelle Haglund is a native of San Diego and a professional artist since 1996. A mixed media and encaustic painter (melted beeswax and pigment on panel), Michelle also enjoys collaborating with children, teaching and is a published children’s book illustrator.
She received an Associate in Arts Degree in Studio Art from San Diego Mesa College in 2014, and continues working on a Bachelor’s Degree. She is currently represented by Meyer Gallery in Park City, Utah, and the Blue Azul Collection in San Diego, CA. “My art is an expression of a deep appreciation and connection to nature. I’m especially drawn to birds, and seek to create an intimacy with them through portraiture. Birds are our most accessible wild neighbors, and for me, reminders of the importance of environmental stewardship and personal responsibility. My hope is that my paintings will facilitate awareness of the impact we have in the world.” |
