Michele Lambert has always had a natural ability to paint. She studied fine art at the University of New Orleans in the 80’s. Lambert had stopped painting until Hurricane Katrina inspired her return to the canvas.

Michele was born of a Parisian mother in Chateauroux, France, where her American father was stationed with the US Air Force, in October, 1956. The family moved to Eglin Air Force Base in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, when Michele was a small child. Michele chose to make New Orleans her home in 1975. She is a graduate of the University of New Orleans and has been a business and property owner in New Orleans for many years.
