Price was born in Lyon, France, lived in New York for several years and then moved to the Bay Area in the early ‘70s, where she studied beaux arts and obtained a degree in cosmetology, massage therapy and health education. She later graduated from the International Tour Management Institute of San Francisco.
In 2000, Price relocated to Lake County where she became inspired to return to art and developed her own style of expressionism in glass art and acrylic and oil paintings. Some of her paintings have been influenced by her many years of Latin dancing and specializing in ChaCha, Rumba, Meringue and the Argentine Tango, which Price taught a few years ago with the Reach Out Program. Her artist name, Michou, is her signature on all of her artistic creations.
Price has served on the arts council board of Lakeport and has shown some of her works at the Main Street Gallery and Bell Hill tasting room in Lakeport, Featherbed Railroad B&B in Nice and the Alpine Café in Lucerne. Some of her finished and in progress artwork can be viewed on her Facebook page, Michelle Price Art Creations.
