Drawings, painting, and woodworking became a part of her daily life. Michaela also studied at ILAC College in Vancouver. Coming to Vancouver and then to Whistler opened many possibilities for her artistic visions. British Columbia’s nature, especially the mountains and animals, became her new inspiration.
