Michelle Ciarlo-Hayes is an award-winning artist, creator, and story-teller. Michelle was certain the secret passage into Narnia truly existed and if she just rifled through enough closets and cupboards, she would find it. Fables, fairy tales, and legends have always enchanted Michelle, her favorites being those where feisty and daring heroines like Lucy and Alice run off to have wild adventures. She graduated from the University of Oxford, where she would read in the same gardens that inspired C.S. Lewis and Lewis Carroll’s imaginations, and her whimsical, witty, & joyful {with just a hint of quirky} artwork is still influenced by this idea of magical worlds that mingle with our own.
 
Michelle creates her artwork by photographing or illustrating each separate component. She then weaves these pieces into a digital collage, combining them into her magical scenes.
