Happy Summer Solstice, Welcome to Blooming June


Happy Summer Solstice
Welcome to Blooming June

Do you remember…

Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row…

Well, my garden grows with colour, flowers, poetry, photographs, paint, and a little bit of mischief.

“Collect original art from living artists, as dead ones can’t spend your money.’

June is bursting into bloom and I’m delighted to invite you into my world of art, stories, exhibitions, workshops, and summer magic. This month carries the light of the Summer Solstice — a time of growth, abundance, creativity, and long golden evenings. It feels like the perfect moment to gather, together celebrate art, and perhaps even take home something unique and beautiful for your own walls.

New York and London in July!

And now for some exciting news…

A small drawing of mine, a little cheeky, a little rebellious, will be exhibited in New York this July!

Yes, you heard right.

The exhibition takes place at Fountain House, twinned with the Bethlehem Gallery. It opens in London on 21 July and New York on 25 July. I’ll share more in July’s newsletter, but for now, keep an eye on my Instagram:

Make Your Home Extraordinary

If your walls need brightening, your rooms need conversation, or your soul needs colour — come and see my collections.

My paintings and prints are all unique and one of a kind. They are made to bring joy, spark conversations, and make homes feel personal, alive, and memorable.

Every artwork you buy supports an independent artist and helps keep creativity flourishing.

Commissions

Commission prices start from £900.

They can take anywhere from four weeks to a year depending on scale and complexity.

Portraits, personal pieces, meaningful gifts, or imaginative collaborations — let’s start a conversation.

I hope to see you at one of my June events and share some sunshine, stories, art, and Summer Solstice magic with you.

With colour, creativity, and warm wishes,

Michelle Baharier
