Largely self-taught as an artist, except for a period of time at the prestigious High School of Music and Art in New York City, where she majored in art, Miss Michaels is an accomplished painter who has shown in New York and Palm Beach’s finest galleries. Her work is in the collections of corporations and have been seen on such shows as “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous”, “The Tonight Show”, “Fox News”, and “Regis.”
