I'm Michelle and I'm so glad you're here.

I'm a vegetable farmer, trained cook, mom of two kids, and emerging cyanotype artist.

For more than a decade, I've grown vegetables powered by the sun – work that has naturally expanded into creating sun-powered art.

Through the centuries-old process of cyanotype, I harness UV rays to produce one-of-a-kind botanical and photographic prints, all featuring the signature Prussian blue that defines the medium.

The botanical elements in my work are nearly all grown + harvested right on my vegetable farm located in the Piedmont of North Carolina.

I strive to create cyanotypes that transform sunlight into art, inviting you to slow down, be present, and tune into the beauty of Mother Nature. 

My next original cyanotype collection will be launching in early spring. In the meantime, follow along over on instagram: @farmbelly.creative.
