About Michelle  Artist Statement  Early in the morning as the
sun begins to rise, I can usually be found out in the woods
behind our house stalking dew drops. My eyes are saturated with
the way the light reflects off the water drops. The colors that
are enhanced by the dew and early sunshine draw me in and I
can’t help but capture what I see. I can spend hours outside
crawling around in the high grass seeking out the tiny unseen
plants, weeds as some would say; beauty is what I call them. I
enjoy capturing something so small and hidden that most people
have never seen it before. My camera becomes an extension of
myself. I am capturing the colors, textures and light that I
see. The bright greens, reds and purples of miniscule flowers
and grasses fill my eyes.  Macro photography is a true
expression of how I see things. I see the tiny miniscule details
and want to show the world. Usually those drops are only a
couple of millimeters in size. The natural world is constantly
shifting and changing with the seasons,
