Michele Jung

Michele is a passionate plein air artist who thrives on painting from life and sketching live portraits and caricatures.

The ever-changing light of the New Zealand landscape, the hum of conversations, and the essence of a place are woven into her work, resulting in dynamic and expressive reflections of the moment. Her art delves into raw emotion, beauty, and connection, inviting viewers to uncover their own stories within her creations.

As both an artist and educator, she runs MiChalk, offering art classes and holiday workshops for children and adults from her home studio in Napier. Teaching provides her with the opportunity to share her passion while inspiring creativity in others.

She hopes her work offers a fresh perspective and resonates with people in a meaningful way.
