Michelle Hamilton<\/p><\/div>\n

Artist Michelle Hamilton once rode from Florida to the Blue Ridge Mountains on a Russian sidecar motorcycle. \u201cMy husband and I are part of a club that has rallies all over, and we would ride with them and camp,\u201d Hamilton says. \u201cOne of the places we camped was Black Mountain, which we fell in love with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michelle\u2019s encaustic artworks are as whimsical as her life sounds and are influenced by the foreign cultures she experienced while traveling. \u201cWhen I was a child, I drew constantly, but it wasn\u2019t until I was around the age of 20, when I moved to a big city and started traveling, that everything changed,\u201d she says. \u201cStill, folk art has always had my heart. I do go off in other directions at times, but you can still see the influence.\u201d<\/p>\n
