Artist Bio:

Michelle Hales is an artist working across jewellery and small objects. She studied at Queensland College of Art and was mentored by Diane Appleby. Her practice primarily uses silver and gold, complemented by responsibly sourced gemstones, collected pebbles and other organic materials.

Michelle creates pieces designed to be worn and treasured for life, each reflecting her distinctive aesthetic. Her work is made for those with an independent spirit—edgy individuals who don’t follow the mainstream and are drawn to jewellery that feels uniquely their own.
