We'll close out Women's History Month with a photo of the super creative, loads-of-fun, Greensboro artist, Michelle Jarrett. Michelle's business is FUNKY BY NATURE. We met up with her on Monday afternoon in her Greensboro studio.Just look at that heartfelt smile! Michelle's talent is taking random scraps and repurposing them into fabulous works of art. She is currently working on metal yard flowers for an upcoming virtual art show (#southerncharmatthefarm).
Michelle, originally from Philadelphia, has been in Greensboro for decades. She worked as a chef and caterer for 30 years before working another decade in jewelry making. Now, she has formed her own business, truly turning trash into treasure. Visiting Michelle's studio is like stepping into the pages of a Somerset Magazine feature on an artist's studio. Michelle is super organized; you can ask for anything from shards of stained glass to brass crimp beads to wire cutters and she can put her hands on the item within seconds. Currently, she is working on a pink poodle lamp with a shade made of pink plastic hair rollers. Fun, fun, fun! Design and creativity merge when Michelle is in the house. Follow her Funky by Nature Facebook page to learn more about her unique, upcycled, and unconventional decor.

Very eclectic. A terrific portrait.
