Author
Michelle de Villiers
I scribble , dribble and doodle. I sculpt in clay for bronzing; paint anything under the sun; write children’s stories and illustrate them. I read a lot. When I’m not in the studio covered in paint; working on a new picture story; doodling cartoons, or reading; I reluctantly go to the gym. (In the basement, now!) Or travel to far-off places. (BC) I once lived in a rainforest. Once upon a time I worked as an engineer on secret projects. And also underground in a gold mine. I have a lot of Neanderthal DNA. Relatively speaking. I can wiggle my ears. I have two cats.
