Michelle Ronquillo is a highly passionate ceramic artist and sculptor based in Toronto. Her journey began at the Arts Center at Central Tech, where she completed a four-year certificate program majoring in Fine Arts with a focus on sculpture/ceramics. She further expanded her artistic expertise by obtaining a diploma in makeup artistry, special effects prosthetics, and creature design from CMU which has greatly strengthened her sculptural skills and enhanced her ability to work with clay.

Her unique artistic vision is evident in her ceramic pieces, which often focus on wheel throwing techniques with fine detailed sculptural elements. Her mold-making skills have translated to the mascot field, where she has worked as a sculptor and carver for several years and is now freelancing. Possessing large-scale mold-making experience, she plans on utilizing these skills to teach slip casting and mold-making.

Working as a teacher has fueled Michelle's passion for art, evolved her skills, and allowed her to share what she has learned with others. Through her work as a sculptor, carver, and educator, Michelle continues to inspire and push the boundaries of ceramic art.
