Michelle has been a professional artist for 15 years and is the owner and creator of Allen Designs. Her clocks and other gift products are sold worldwide. “I love the imperfect, slightly eccentric, witty quality of the world I see around me. It’s the unpredictability of even the most mundane things that I try to recreate in my art. Although the pieces I design are practical, my hope is that my art will never become so serious that I betray the uniqueness that inspires me.”
