The goal of Michelle Enemark is to unearth the extraordinary past through travel and a wonder of the natural world. She recently spent a year in Eastern Europe, searching out obscure museums and history, and documented what she discovered, along with her partner Dylan Thuras, at their popular website, Curious Expeditions.

An editor and motion graphics artist by trade, visual artist by training, and historian and naturalist by self appointment, Michelle attempts to show the forgotten bits of the world, be they lost pieces of history, forgotten museums, or elements of the natural world that have been ignored or overlooked. While she often looks to the past for inspiration, Michelle is also technical and comfortable using video, the web and whatever other modern means of communication most successfully reaches a wider audience.

She spends her time mounting insects, animal skeletons, painting natural history scenes, and generally filling her tiny Brooklyn apartment with natural specimens. One day she hopes to have her own natural history museum. Her passions are cabinets of curiosity, traveling to places she’s never been, dusty, overlooked museums, and the Maine woods.
