About ME
Hello and Welcome!
Michelle Vine Walters + Co. is an online destination where nostalgia, inherent talent, and genuine curiosity meet. I’m on a mission to bring creativity back to the people. I believe we all possess something special the world needs to see and hear; however, unlocking your gift can be challenging. And AI isn’t doing us any favors, no matter what we tell ourselves.
I miss the days when we could scroll through Instagram and see the people we chose to see. Or when Pinterest was a place where you could curate the life of your dreams with real-life examples. It frustrates me to see AI accounts recreate and claim the work of true artists. Paintings, artwork, novels, even the spoken word, all being fed to us by some unknown who’s really good at using large language model prompts. I must admit, I was lured in by the shiny thing. I started using AI to edit, color-correct, ghostwrite, and even recreate my photos because it looked so good; I started doubting my own skill set. But I am no longer taking the “red pill,” or was it the blue pill?
First, let me state this. I don’t think AI is all bad; it has some good use cases. However, it should be a subtle tool, not the main body of work. So, here we are. MVW+CO is an artistic rebirth. I am reclaiming my talents, building on my strengths, and taking the time to learn what I can’t do.
If you get high off of analog living, this my be the place for you.
