ARTIST BIO

Born in Griffith, Australia, in 1969, Michele-lee has been painting
seriously for only a handful of years. Many told her a career in art was
an unattainable dream. But Michele-lee believes that some dreams
are more than just dreams; they are destiny, and it was her destiny
to become a fantasy artist/illustrator.

The last five years have been spent in learning the necessary skills
and techniques, and developing her bold, colourful style. Michele-lee
loves painting dragons, elves, faeries, unicorns and more. Her
primary mediums are watercolours, watercolour pencils,
gouache, pen and ink, and digital.

Michele-lee has been a professional illustrator for two years. She
works on a personal commission and work for hire basis. She
paints everything from RPG Character Portraits to Fantasy Pet
Portraits. At present, she is working on the first of three book covers
for a fantasy epic The Ancient Mirrors Chronicles', written by Jayel
Gibson. The first book, Yavie's Quest, is due for release in early 2005.

Her goal of becoming more focused on book cover art and internal
illustration comes closer with every brushstroke. Michele-lee is
proof that dreams should never be forgotten for sometimes they
are more than just a dream ... they are destiny.
