BIO

M!CHELLE DUSSAULT

This--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. 


Over the last 10 years or so, have been devoting my creative inquiry to writing eco-fantasy, fiction that blends the speculative with the familiar, and incorporates the spiritual practices that are emerging during this time of climate emergency.

I participated in Patching Up, a collaborative arts project in Ethiopia that  bridged my far flung interests in art, travel, anthropology, and fiction writing.

Postcards from the Arctic

Madam Taxi Rides Again!

Next stop Svalbard, Norway!


I accompanied my protagonist, IOWA STARR, aboard the Antigua (aka The Pirate Ship), sailing the High Arctic. Her mission was to to retrieve the last Gogo drift seed from the Svalbard Seed Vault. Somewhere along the way I ditched Iowa and traveled sola.

Patching Up

In January 2019 I participated in Mekdes Shebeta's collaborative art project in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Patching-UP included field-research, workshops, studio visits and a contemporary art exhibition.
