Michelle Yozzo Drake
Michelle Yozzo Drake will be at Booth H116 this year. She is a talented wood artist based in the Mystic and Stonington area. Michelle brings a fresh perspective to traditional woodworking. Her creations blend natural materials and organic shapes. Each piece feels both modern and timeless.
Michelle’s background enriches her art. She excels in creative business, but her passion is hands-on design. She co-founded her own studio, Stonington Designs. Michelle uses her business experience to reach more people with her art. Her works often tell stories about the Connecticut shoreline and countryside. Driftwood, reclaimed wood, and found objects inspire her unique vision.
Art festival visitors can meet Michelle and experience her work up close. Her booth contains pieces that charm and surprise. From sculptures to functional decor, every item is handmade. No two pieces are ever quite the same. Many visitors love the coastal flair and the use of natural textures. Whether you want a statement piece or a small memento, Booth H116 is worth a stop.
