My Story

Starting Margot & me has been quite the journey. Mostly because I didn't set out to become an artist, because I didn't believe I could be.

My journey is one of years of low self confidence, undiagnosed neurodiversity and allowing the societal opinion, that you can't make money from art, get in the way.

I'm starting this journey now in my 42nd year, Moving from being a makeup artist and hairstylist for the past 10 years to a pencil, pen & paint to paper type of artist. It's exciting and terrifying in equal measure and I hope you will support me on this new journey.

Now how did I get here and why Margot & me? Well this could be a loooooooong story, and having ADHD means that I have an inability to tell a short story on account of all the side stories I'll go off on in the process......

So to make my story a bit more interesting I'll add a little creative glitter to it

Once upon a time

In a magical kingdom far far away, there was a little rainbow haired girl called Michelle.....

Read the rest of the story on the blog soon ;-)

Hellooooooo welcome to the bit thats all about me

It's a bit like online dating. Where I tell you all about me and you decide, if I'm your type of person or not.

EEK! No pressure then...

So in short, I'm Michelle, I'm 42 and I live in the UK with my Husband and 2 children Austin & Margot (guess where the company name comes from).

I'm one of those positive super smiley (probably quite annoying at times) types of people. I'm an EHCP personalitiy type which I once saw described as 'the unicorn of personality types, spreading glitter where ever they go'. Which if you knew me you'd agree with. The next part said 'it wouldn't be unusual to find them chasing butterflies in fields' again also true haha. I love nothing more than to lift people up and I think the world is far too serious. The things I love to draw most are cute animals, funny things and pictures that have meaning to them. So all things that make people smile.

Let's talk

Don't be shy! If you have a question, no matter how random or silly you might think it is. I won't judge. I can guarantee I've asked weirder ones. It comes with the ADHD territory.
