Michelle Frae Cummings

Michelle Cummings is a mixed- media artist, instructor and Freelance writer.

She lives with her husband, Brian and son Dyllan in sunny Southern California.

Michelle has always been crafty growing up as her Mother sewed and painted in oils while her Grand Mother made beautiful ceramics. She has vivid memories as early as Kindergarten regarding her art skills, dreaming up stories with illustrations to match. In High School she won the Poseidon award for both Fine Art and Ceramics.

Michelle went on to Jr. College where she studied more painting, drawing and fashion design.

Since then, Michelle has painted sets for local play houses, created costumes, designed store front windows, taught at local scrapbook stores, public groups, and sells her art locally and online. Michelle is an organizer of a popular scrapbook/altered-art group, and belongs to various craft groups in her town.

Michelle’s passion is color.

Whether she is painting with it, sewing, wire wrapping or planting it in her garden, she’s content. It’s how she expresses her dreams and inspirations.  Creating with her fingers is therapeutic and energizing at the same time. Her style is past, present and future, meaning she enjoys revamping past ideas into current trends.
