Michelle Post was born in Trenton, NJ and recently relocated to South Jersey with her husband Dave Carrow.  With no formal training in the arts, Michelle honed her artistic prowess by seeking out those who could teach her what she wanted to know about any given project.  She apprenticed with Stefan Martin for wood engraving, picked the brains of many admired sculptors, photographers, printmakers, painters, dressmakers, designers, craftsmen, writers, sign makers, and a variety of cantankerous beings she has met in her journeys in this world. 

Her Shaker Furniture Collection was born from a need to do something with the 1,500+salt and pepper shaker collection that finally got out of hand.  Her husband joked one day and said to glue them to tables and chairs and call it “Shaker Furniture.”  Good thing she listens to her husband every once in a while.
