Michelle Goggi is an East Kent-based artist who explores her relationship with water and the natural world. Working in oil, pencil, and mixed media, she creates ethereal seascapes and natural scenes inspired by the woods, lakes, and sea that surround her. Her work explores the bond between life and water, highlighted in her series of swimmers that capture the natural distortion water plays on the human form.
Michelle has been creating and painting all her life and has a first-class degree in Fine Art from Staffordshire University - this year she will be joining the TURPS Margate painting programme as a painting student.
