For the last 30 years people have entrusted Michele Warner to create family heirlooms celebrating their lives. Michele is a graduate of Kendall College of Art & Design and studied classical figure painting at the Slade College of Art at the University of London, England. Her vivid body of work hangs in both private and corporate collections such as EDS, American Airlines, University Hospitals, Baylor Hospital, Boy Scouts of America and Mary Kay Corp., and many private homes. Michele is most interested in creating paintings that portray the subject’s interests and passions. Having owned horses and other animals all of her life, the human-animal connection painting is the subject she is naturally drawn to and enjoys working with clients to create. Michele lives with her artist husband, James Noel Smith, on a farm in the mountains of upper East Tennessee, which they share with her three horses, and many dogs and cats. The artists have two grown children. For more information about Michele, please visit her website at www.michelewarner.com.
