Michele Peabody Myers has been creating works of art in her head prior to physically applying brush to canvas. She found a passion for oil painting while attending Long Beach City College. Motivated by amazing teachers and a drive to obtain a degree, she received a scholarship to attend The School for the Art Institute of Chicago where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2010. Michele's painting "Sincere Gifts II" was chosen the winner of the Inspire Us Contest for the Los Angeles Times Book Festival in 2016.
Ms. Peabody Myers currently resides in Greenville, South Carolina with her unusual German Shorthair Pointer, Petunia. Petunia has recently acquired a brother, Cola and his Dad, Joel. Living life to the fullest and realizing she has been given a gift, her inspiration comes from life around her. She paints almost every day.
