Michelle Ferreira was born and raised on the traditional lands of Djilang, Australia and at the age of 14, she moved to Lisbon, then back to the antipodes in her mid-twenties. Michelle completed her Bachelor of Graphic Design at IADE - University of Design in Lisbon and recently graduated from RMIT (Melbourne) Master of Photography. These two disciplines intertwined, complemented, and blended in composition, colour, and layout throughout her career.
She has lived, created and exhibited worldwide – Australia, Portugal, Czech Republic, Malaysia, and New York through group and collaborative projects; exhibitions include CLIMARTE Gallery, Pingyao International Photography Festival 2022, Ballarat International Foto Biennale 2020 and Red Gallery in Melbourne. She was recently awarded the Creative Climate Awards 2023 (New York) and the Head On Landscape Award 2022 (Sydney). In her earlier years, Michelle was an in-house designer and photographer.
