Michelle Sauvé is a writer and artist living in the haunting landscape of historic Suffolk, England. Originally from Michigan, she carries with her the wild spirit of the Great Lakes. Michelle has pursued her work for nearly thirty years. Exhibited internationally, she earned her BFA from the University of Michigan with a minor in Creative Writing, and an MFA in Painting from the Savannah College of Art & Design.
With both her written and visual work, Michelle Sauvé hunts for answers to the same questions she has asked all her career, absorbed in understanding the environment, openings and crevices, both literal and imagined. Examining the generational occupation of space, her characters do not inhabit but are inhabited by their locations. Her life’s work is to unravel what it means to exist in a world beyond that of our own creation.
On sabbatical to raise her daughter until the need to create grew too strong, at the moment Michelle divides her time between family, writing, drawing, and walking her beloved whippet.
