Michelle Duxbury is an artist from Leeds, with a studio practice based in Wakefield.

Her work considers the intrinsic link between landscape, body and identity, in individual and collective connection to landscape, and how this impacts on feelings of belonging/not belonging, drawing on her experiences as a disabled, neurodivergent woman from a working-class background. Often combining multiple sensory experiences, embedded with accessibility, allowing her to interrogate the in/accessibility created by traditional hierarchies in visual art. Her practice draws on various creative and academic disciplines working across various media including, but not limited to, embroidery, moving image, sound and immersive installation work.

She is on the board of Trustees at Yorkshire Contemporary, a visual arts organisation based in Leeds and Shape Arts, a national disability-led organisation which works to improve access to culture for disabled people and supports disabled artists to develop their careers. She is also a founding member of DISrupt, a collective of disabled artists in Leeds.

She is committed to making the arts more accessible to those who face barriers to the art world, including those who come from non-traditional arts education backgrounds.
