About Trail Skipper Studio

Hello! I’m Michelle, the artist behind Trail Skipper Studio. After years working in outdoor retail, restoration ecology, and software analytics, I transitioned to art full-time in 2023, combining my love for nature with my desire to create. Whether relief prints, digital paintings, or wood designs, my work is inspired by the moments of beauty I discover on my hikes. I’m drawn to the details of the natural world and enjoy exploring different artistic techniques to bring those moments to life through color, texture, and experimentation. I believe that art rooted in nature does more than decorate - it has the power to ground us, inspire us, and foster a deeper connection to the world around us. I’m grateful for the chance to create work that reflects the landscapes I explore, and hope it resonates with others in a meaningful way.Read their story
