Michael Jell is a professional artist from Vernon, British Columbia, Canada, also known as the Okanagan Valley. The beautiful mountains, sparkling lakes, sunny summers and snowy winters create an interesting and diverse landscape that Michael enjoys painting.

He also has an appreciation of the natural world and spends much of his time exploring the Okanagan area. Over the past few years Michael's interests have led him to landscape paintings depicting the beauty of the Okanagan area, as well as wildlife painting.
