Hi, I'm Michelle Meade!

I write and illustrate children's books that inspire creativity and imagination. I'm a professional artist and a professor of art and art history. I have been selected as part of the Kansas Touring Artist Roster where Kansas schools and community organizations can book my creative interactive arts workshops through grants through the state website. I'm also a member of SCBWI. I offer a variety of creative services, so let me help you free your inner artist. I offer children's book writing and illustration, teaching artist multi arts workshops for kids and adults, and art commissions.
