i am a self taught artist and photographer.  i have been creating art my entire life because creating art is my entire life.  i express my inner vision when making art.  i tend to avoid conceptual explanations about my work…for it is the one place i can be free of the rational mind.  even when shooting pictures, the urge just hits me to snap the shot, and i do.  i intuit my way through life, revealing an inner vision-whatever it is in the moment that “i see”.   i have hung paintings in washington dc, las vegas, missoula, seattle, portland, and san francisco.  i now live in seattle.  all photography, paintings, and sketches on this site are created by me, michelle bloom.  thank you for taking a peak.  find me at michellebloom.com
