Michelle Morin is a painter and illustrator investigating how we transform experience and memory through the fragments we collect and the moments we’re fully immersed in. She attended Massachusetts College of Art and currently lives and works in Eliot, Maine. Her work also includes surface design collaborations with Anthropologie, NIKE, Yves Saint Laurent, among others, and children's book illustration for Chronicle Books.
