“Paradise”
Michelle Wickham is an artist and illustrator from Connecticut, currently living in New Haven. She studied Art History in college and still find a lot of inspiration in it, especially Medieval and Early Modern art. Almost all of her work is done with alcohol-based markers, but she’s using this time in quarantine to practice painting more.
Michelle entered “Paradise” during High Art 2020, inspired by the theme of MAGIC. She also placed within the top 150 artists from over 5000 entries from around the world?

High Art was created by Dona Frank and The Natural Cannabis Company in 2014 as a crowdsourcing solution to packaging design. From its humble beginnings, High Art has developed into an internationally-known art competition with thousands of entries annually from 100+ countries all over the world.
Each year professional and amateur artists create themed works through a variety of mediums to compete for $50,000 in prize money and to see their work featured on packaging, social media, at the High Art gallery in Santa Rosa, CA and displayed at prestigious art events, in the United States and abroad.
