Michelle Storm

Michelle Storrm is a self-taught acrylic painter specialising in combining abstract and naturalistic elements. Her art is influenced by her childhood in Wisconsin, the scientific paintings of artists like Audubon and Gromme, and wunderkammers and other oddities. Her work features the overlooked but tenacious parts of the natural world: mosses and barnacles, ferns and lichens, unloved and invasive species -- a reflection of her own struggles to find a place in the world. She has lived and worked in Liverpool for over 10 years and has shown work in Cass Art Liverpool staff exhibitions.
