BIO

M!CHELLE DUSSAULT

This photo, a serious attempt at re-enactment, cracks me up.


"The struggle of maturity is to recover the seriousness of the child at play.”

~Nietzsche


My MFA is in painting and drawing from the University of TN. I also have a B.A. in Cultural Anthropology / African Studies from Rhode Island College. 


Shortly after I took a break from painting, to find out what people-who-don’t-paint do, I fell for writing. 

MadamTaxi Rides Again!

Excited to be participating in Patching Up a collaborative arts project in Ethiopia that somehow manages to bridge my far flung interests in art, travel, anthropology, and fiction writing.
