Michelle also has a passion for teaching, particularly at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University, where she has served as a faculty member for two decades. Michelle is also the proud mother of Eden. Dare Coulter the illustrator, is an award-winning artist. Her specialties include public art, specifically monumental sculptures and large murals.
