About

Thank you for visiting "mkc photography by Michelle Ciarlo-Hayes." Each week I invite my readers to go behind the camera with me as I share a different "story behind the picture."

I'm an award-winning fine art photographer and digital artist from Philadelphia, and my work has been featured in a number of venues, including the Tiberino Memorial Museum (PA), City Hall (Phila, PA), and the Straube Art Center (NJ). My photography appears on the cover of the 2009 "Paws for Charity" Art Book, and my whimsical collection of nursery art called "Alphabet Soup!" is now available as children's book by the same name. I photograph everyday things in extraordinary ways: come see the rest of my work at: www.mkcphotography.com

If you live in the Philadelphia area, you may also pop in to Artista or This Little Gallery, as they both carry a wide selection of my art glass trinkets.

I have a number of exhibits and shows planned for 2010, so please visit my news link for details and mark your calenders!

I accept custom, commissioned assignments from anyone who loves my style but wants me to create something to fit their exact needs. Please feel free to contact me - I would love to hear from you.
