About the Artist - Michelle Wiarda

Michelle Wiarda
Artist and Photographer
I was born and raised in Massachusetts, the north shore area. I began developing my artistic skills at an early age. I drew and painted images of horses, seacapes and landscapes. Nature intrigued me then, as it does now.
I earned my degree from Endicott College in Beverly, Massachusetts, where I studied commercial art, as well as painting, drawing and photography. I was fortunate to live in such an inspiring, lovely coastal area. Its a real artist's paradise. After much practice, I've developed my style of watercolor technique from which I haveThe Stories of the Scientists Behind Immuno-Oncology, in Their Own Words
