Human anatomy illustrations of Michelle Annette Leveille
Michelle Annette Leveille attended the University of California at Davis, where she excelled in physiology. She taught in the Gross Human Anatomy Laboratory of the School of Medicine as a student teacher. Unfortunately, she suffered an accident that left her with difficulty speaking for a few months. However, she found ways to adapt, and communicated through her illustrations. As a result, Michelle found work in the medical and veterinary illustration fields. Michelle graduated with an Individual Major: a Bachelors Degree of Arts and Science in Anatomical Illustration, in 1991.
