My Story

Hello! I’m Michelle. I am a busy mother of three from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Artistic pursuits have been a constant my whole life. Through the years, I have sketched, painted, quilted, rug hooked and sewed clothing. It was always a struggle to decide which project to pick up next.

In 2018, I started to combine my love for art with digital media and use my eye for colour and design to produce beautiful printed posters and reports. In 2023, I decided to bring this passion to surface pattern design and haven’t looked back.

Sunset Patterns was born out of a desire to share beautiful colours and patterns with the world. It brings all of my artistic and digital skills together in an amazing confluence and I am so excited to share my designs with you!

Why Sunset Patterns?

My family’s Maritime roots are deep, drawing multiple generations back to Nova Scotia every year. I sit every summer with my family watching the spectacular sunsets and acknowledging the special place it is for all of us. It is truly my happy place.

My goal is for Sunset Patterns to grow and change like a constantly shifting beautiful sunset.
