Michelle Arnott
Michelle was born in Orange but has mostly lived, studied and worked in Sydney. She has a strong background in Fine Arts and Visual Arts education and now makes art full time in her studio in Georges Heights in the Headland Artist Precinct.
In her painting practice she tends to respond to the narratives she finds in the built environment, often as an homage to enduring icons at the intersection of past and present.
Michelle has enjoyed both solo and group exhibitions, fulfilled significant commissions, has work in both private and public collections and has been a finalist in a number of prizes including the Mosman Art Prize, the Burwood Art Prize, the National Emerging Artist Prize 2022 and also won the Mosman Rowers inaugural Acquisitive Art Prize as judged and awarded by Ken Done. In 2025 she is one of two artists awarded a 3 month Residency at the State Library of NSW.
