About the Artist

Experiences, locations & feelings transformed into captivating art, gifts and community-building classes.

Michelle Sertz Scully

Michelle is an artist who creates one-of-a-kind, heartfelt art and gifts inspired by the places she’s called home. After many years in Brussels, Belgium, much of her work still captures the city’s charm—its quirky corners, hidden beauty, and international spirit. Through linocut ink prints and pencil drawings, she captures Brussels in a way that feels both personal and refreshingly different from the typical souvenirs and tourist shop art.

Her artwork is regularly showcased and available for purchase—perfect for anyone who loves Brussels or wants to take a piece of it home.

Michelle also leads live classes and workshops, where she shares her creative process and helps others tap into their own artistic voice. Find details Here.

As an expat and frequent mover myself... I get it. A house is more than just where you live. It's full of memories. It's full of hellos and goodbyes. It's where lives were created, families were built, challenges were overcome, successes were celebrated, tears were shed.

I take the time and utmost care to understand what it is you love about your home and how I can best capture its essence above and beyond it's physical appearance.

Fill out the form below and let's get started on a beautiful piece of sentimental art.
