Michelle Hunt

Artist Alley Booth D-3

Michelle is an artist and illustrator based in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Her works

encompass various mediums and techniques, although she works primarily in

watercolor and ink. Michelle graduated from Kendall College of Art and Design with

a BFA in illustration, and is now a member of the Starlite Artist Collective, a group of

artists who put on various shows and markets throughout western Michigan.

Michelle’s style is inspired by the feminine forms and organic lines of the Art

Nouveau movement, as well as the story-driven subjects of myth and legend found

in the art of the Pre-Raphaelites. Her subjects range from fantasy characters and

creatures to mythological figures. She has been fascinated with fantasy, folklore, and

legends her whole life, and the themes within these stories often creep into her

artwork. Michelle is currently in the process of illustrating her own Tarot deck, as

well as an anthology of works based on the Dungeons and Dragons game she plays

with her friends. She can usually be found in her studio, working on at least 8

projects at any given time, or at her home tending to her collection of houseplants.
