Michele talks about her life as a plein air painter  including how she got started.   Also,  "I can’t say enough about the Plein Air Painters of New Mexico. Thanks to PAPNM, there are so many new experiences that I’m able to take part in. In April I painted in historic Jemez Springs, and in two weeks, I’ll be staying and painting at Ghost Ranch for three days!"

We are fortunate to have Michele as a member of our organization.

I am personally thrilled that Michele has moved here as I've taken advantage of her workshops and demos (KLH).
