Michelle Valigura is a sculptor, with a primary focus on ceramics. Her background designing for stop motion animation (including Elf, and the Simpsons) and her love of mid century design have built a foundation that allows her to work in multiple mediums. She has licensed her characters to Disneyland, [[Kidrobot]], Paradise Toys and other art brands, eventually forming her own design company [[Switcheroo]], in 2007 with artist [[Amanda Visell]]. She has exhibited her work, lectured and taught workshops at galleries, museums and universities worldwide. | Michelle Valigura is a sculptor, with a primary focus on ceramics.
