Meet Michelle

I’ve always been drawn to deep listening, meaningful connection, creative expression, and spiritual formation. These lifelong passions have not only shaped my personal journey but have also guided my vocational path. It has been a true joy and privilege to bear witness to others' stories, honor their God-given design, and offer comfort in times of sorrow or pain.

My own life has been a living testimony to the faithfulness of a zero-waste God. I’ve seen how our Heavenly Father uses every part of our story, both the beautiful and the broken, to carry out His redemptive and restorative work. It may not always look the way we expect, but when we allow Him to shape our lives, the outcome is always good.

At the heart of Hesed House Art, I seek to create a safe and sacred space where every person can experience the love of God, meaningful connections, and life-giving creativity.

In every immersive faith and art workshop, my desire is to partner with the Wonderful Counselor to support and inspire healing, growth, and abundant life through creative exploration.
