Michelle Nguyen is a California self taught artist. She specializes in colorpencil portraits. Her first time picking up a pencil was two years ago after dealing with the grievances of losing her father. Art was a way for her to find peace once again. Through her struggles, she found a lot of joy from creating emotional portraits of human beings. In a way, she was drawing these portraits which is a self reflection of what she had been going through. She hopes to create an art book one day with a collection of colorpencil portraits that she has done. It is her hopes to bring peoples life stories through her art.
