Michèle Bygodt

Michele, a French-Gabonese multimedia artist, has lived in Gabon, The Netherlands, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Togo, Paris, and is currently based in Vancouver, BC. She studied Graphic Design Communications in Paris and later earned a BFA in Photography at Emily Carr University.

As a multidisciplinary artist, Michele's work is deeply influenced by her exploration of the concept of "reality" and how it shifts based on individual perception. She embraces fluidity and change, believing that life is not a linear experience but a complexity of multiple ones that constantly evolve, shaping ideas and influences. Michele rejects the notion of adhering to "one style" for a lifetime; instead, her art adapts and transforms, much like water—versatile, dynamic, and reflective of the ever-changing nature of existence.

Michele is currently focusing on building Metanoia, a plant-based food brand, where she combines her creative skills in design, recipe development, and operations to bring innovative wellness-driven products to the market. She continues to explore the intersection of art, health, and business, driving Metanoia’s mission to promote conscious living and sustainable choices.

In addition, Michele is the host of Flowcast Rawganism, a podcast where she and her co-host dive into life’s big (and small) questions. Each episode is a space for reflection, curiosity, and growth, offering listeners a chance to explore and question the world around them.
