Michelle Molinari is a painter, printmaker and most unusually, a taxidermist. She uses her skillset with taxidermy to create installations of which she produces paintings and prints works that grapple with death, memory and observation. By building these layers of mediums, she seeks to blur the lines between both the seemingly seperate artistic disciplines, and the relationship between the subject and piece (1).
