Michelle House is a London based artist with a strong graphic eye and a talent for bold uplifting colour combinations. Michelle gained a BA degree in art textiles from Goldsmiths College, London and later went on to study digital fine art.

Using screen-printing, hand-cut stencils, photography and painting, she layers dyes and pigments on to combinations of natural fabrics. This results in colourful and unique artworks that incorporate her photographs of found patterns, geometry and abstracted urban architecture. Often using texture to hint at the surfaces within architecture, materials such as linen, cotton, wool and silk, are skilfully pieced together in combinations as wall-hangings and artworks stretched over wooden frames.

Alongside printing and painting abstract textile artworks, Michelle designs limited edition giclée prints on paper (incorporating her drawings and photography in the form of digital original artworks) and collage artworks made using textiles, print and paper.

She has been working with textiles and print for over twenty years creating artworks for exhibitions and commissions. However, her love of textiles was instilled at an early age. As a child she would regularly watch her mother cutting and sewing fabric, creating items of clothing, including costumes for school plays, her sister’s ballet tutus and school uniforms, along with curtains and cushions for the home.

Past clients include hospitals, hotels and more recently two large artworks for The British Academy's art collection.
