Discover BAA Artist Members in our comprehensive and ever-expanding Artist Directory.
You are a part of the BAA’s mission to connect artists and community, inspire creativity, and increase access to the visual arts. Maybe you donate every year. Your contributions are the foundation of the BAA, and we thank you for your ongoing support. If you can give more, this is a great year to do so. Maybe you’ve put a few dollars in a jar at a BAA exhibit or fundraiser. Would you consider making an annual gift? You can do this easily by mail or online through our website. Perhaps you once made a $10 contribution to be in the Artists Directory, and we’ve kept your name there for people to reach out and learn more about you and your work. Will you donate $10 again, and commit to doing so monthly or annually?
If you’d like to be included in the listing as a BAA Artist, please use the Artist Directory Google Form to submit your information.
The Directory is constantly growing. If you have recently submitted a form to be listed as an artist, please know we handle additions on a rolling basis. Thank you for your patience!

Biographical Info
As an active member of the National Association of Women Artists, Oil Painters of America and the Berkshire Art Association, Michelle entered the art world in 2002 as a gallery owner and is currently an art instructor and owner of Berkshire Paint and Sip in MA. After being diagnosed with cancer in 2004 she turned to painting for its therapeutic values. She’s primarily a self-taught artist who’s passion and perseverance has led her to become a nationally recognized, award winning artist, art instructor, and business owner who continues to encourage and foster creativity to those in her path. Her recent work is inspired by the art classes she instructs. She finds solace while teaching by creating her own work that encapsulates the lessons imparted on the students. She conveys the importance of using one’s personal life to produce artwork that is meaningful and visually interesting which is evident in her own work that tells stories of family, love of nature, and traveling adventures. Her work is shown regularly in exhibitions and is included in many private collections.
