about

Hi, I'm Michi and I love making complicated concepts clear. I draw in the good old-fashioned way
on paper with pen & ink and watercolour. After a distant past of trying to draw "properly", my work has now veered toward a somewhat quirky wonkiness whilst still retaining accuracy and detail. Which is a lot more fun. Here's how it all started.

That first little booklet of graphic recipes has led to varied and interesting opportunities to make graphics, posters, website banners, artwork for special gifts and more for individual clients,
as well as work for:

- BeFries (restaurant mural, right --->)
- University of Cardiff
- Common Cause Co-operative
- Ministry of Stories
- University of Sussex
- Maalems estate agent
- Like the Wind magazine
- Kendal windows art trail (four years)
- Dancing Fox BV
- Ashurst organic farm
- Zero Waste Europe

"Brilliant, Michi, thank you so much. We have had a few puzzled faces when we've described the concept. We want to say thank you so much, 'cause you've completely understood. It's exactly what we want, can't tell you how happy we are."

I live in a beautiful part of Sussex in the UK, where I can be found playing the fiddle or teaching five-string banjo when not drawing. Over the years I've also been renovating old houses, making jewellery, directing an environmental campaign group in Japan, translating Japanese, making vegetarian sushi, playing in dance bands and more...

What am I doing right NOW?

"Brilliant, Michi, thank you so much. We have had a few puzzled faces when we've described the concept. We want to say thank you so much, 'cause you've completely understood. It's exactly what we want, can't tell you how happy we are."
