Originally from Vancouver, Michele Quan moved to New York in 1984 to study graphic design and photography at Parsons School of Design. She worked in metal for twelve years before embarking on her current medium of clay. “The pieces become a canvas for my love of drawing, painting, text, and color. My hope is that my work serves both as objects of contemplation and as a source of encouragement, inspiring reverence.” Michele works out of her studio in Brooklyn, and lives in New York City.
