Michele Anne

Born 1982 in the great City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia, Michele was heavily influence by street art from the city, friends, family and most of her half-brother, Harry II. He taught her how to write and draw graffiti. Her father, Harry Senior, was also an artist more as a hobby and never pursued art, instead became a welder. He taught her how to draw human faces, animals and many cartoon characters from “Looney Tunes” to “Disney”. Her mother, Rebecca, give her the utmost attention to her special gift and continually worked hard to give Michele anything from art supplies to books to computers to excel at her gift. Her parents wanted her to have a better education and safer place to live; so, the family moved to Maple Shade, New Jersey. Every weekend, Michele was in Philadelphia for friends, family and even church.

During Elementary and High School, Michele received many scholarships from Early to Young Adult Classes at the Perkins Center for the Arts (www.perkinscenter.org) in Moorestown, NJ. When she graduated from Maple Shade High School, Michele received a scholarship for Art College. From 2001-2004, she went to college at The Art Institute of Philadelphia (www.aiph.artinstitutes.edu) and received a Bachelor Degree of Science in Computer Animation & Media Arts.

All-American painter, sculptor, graphic artist and animator, Michele is now a tan resident of Florida since 2005. She began her career in the art field at Fireline Studios where she had the pleasure to work on the environmental set design of the roller coaster, Everest, at the Animal Kingdom in Disney World. Since then, Michele worked at a variety of places learning about advertising and marketing.
