Michele has conducted many group, solo exhibitions, workshops and demonstrations over the years, she often gets asked to be the featured artist in many shows, she also enters the Archibald and Portia Geach Prize each year. Her contemporary interpretations have held a wide appeal both locally and internationally and buyers have often commented that Michele has the ability to turn a somewhat everyday subject into the mysterious and exciting.
