About Me

I am YOU reflected through me; I hope you like what you see.
I am an artist, specializing in murals. Most of my work has been done in private residences. Publicly, it can be seen in various schools in Broward & Palm Beach Counties, Florida. I also have a contract with Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Hollywood, Florida.
I completed the rennovation of "Noogieland" at Gilda's Club South Florida last year. As a result of that, I began to teach painting classes and art therapy workshops for adults and organize activities for children there as well. As an artist, I never know where my path leads, so I follow it in faith and trust that the Universe knows better than I do. Because it does.
I am also a writer and an illustrator, recently publishing my first book of affirmations, "Do You Know Who You Are?" was released on October 18, 2007. My second book, "Do You Know Who Your Children Are?" was just released last week.
I am a Certified Domestic Violence Advocate and speak to survivors of domestic violence, teaching self- esteem classes and art therapy workshops to them as well.
I just became a Certified Living Foods Chef. Yes, add that to the list!

Do You Know Who Your Children Are? by Michelle Starkey is a valuable self-help parenting book that directs readers on how to develop intuitive strengths, power of positive persuasion and self-discipline. Designed to show parents the gifts children bring into our lives, it closely examines typical roles and what the parent can learn about his or herself while raising children. Often, it prompts readers to examine their beliefs and mindsets, while seeing how what is happening in the present may be connected to the past. This powerful guide affirms the sort of parents we wish to become, points us in the right direction, and allows us an opportunity to see how children help us as parents, caregivers and teachers, grow.
