After many years in South Florida , Michele listened to the quiet inner voice that led her to find a home , and her true heart , in Western North Carolina , nestled in those magical Blue Ridge Mountains .
Rising before the sun and resting long after it sinks below the horizon , she continually refines her photographer ' s senses by immersing herself in nature ' s wonders and rhythms . From a tiny bead of dew on a delicate spring blossom to an expansive , breathtaking mountaintop vista , Michele captures images that not only embody her passion , but communicates it directly to her viewers .
Her work reminds us all to seek color and beauty in the everyday ; to be curious and joyful in the world ; and to remember that every dark and shadowy path eventually leads us to the light .
