Michela Muserra (a/k/a “Miki Mu”) is an international muralist and illustrator based in Brooklyn. A graduate of Accademia di Bella Arti in her hometown of Foggia, Italy, Michela launched Thrive Collective’s Private Murals Collection as an advanced apprenticeship for our most promising School Murals students and artists. Michela has worked as a teaching artist with Thrive Collective since January 2017. Her recent commercial clients include Bed Bath & Beyond, The Brooklyn Children Museum, Industry City, Union Square Partnership, Andy&Evan and many others throughout Italy and the United States. In September 2017, she was selected as one of ten artists for the Sprocket Mural Festival in Harrisburg, PA, commissioned to create a mural for the Broad Street Market. In 2000, Michela began her career as an illustrator creating comic strips and animated cartoons in Italy. Her work has been shown worldwide in galleries and reviewed in art books and art magazines. In 2015, she released the acclaimed children’s book, “If You are Happy and You Know it Clap Your Hands,” published in Italy by Caraco Editore.
