About Michelle
I’m Michelle Solomon, a South African artist & illustrator based in Cape Town. I’m inspired by nature and authentic humans and create bespoke works using both traditional and digital mediums. If my art has a whimsical character, it’s because Rosie, the pug, is my eternal muse.
I graduated from the AAA School of Advertising Cape Town in 2004. As an illustrator, graphic and surface pattern designer, my work has been used for various projects, including children’s books, cookbooks, packaging, beauty, stationery and apparel, including by leading fashion retailers Naartjie Kids Clothing, Truworths and Woolworths.
Michelle’s artworks are professionally printed onto archival quality, acid-free, 200gsm Fabriano paper. The warm white colour and rich, watercolour paper-like finish provides a beautiful depth of colour and texture. Each print is hand-signed by the Artist. By supporting a South-African artist, you enable me to share my creations with the world.
