Michelle de Bruin (born 1967) is a British sculptor and artist, working primarily in stone.

[5] She began her professional life working in the realm of public art, but became disillusioned with this, and struck out on her own.

Her personal work centres around misinformation, and to this end she has created a "Broom Cupboard" of taxonomic misfits from the animal world.

"The particular focus of my work is in indeterminacy (from a philosophical and semiotic point of view) and areas where material evidence, language and narrative become confused or contradictory."

[9] In her professional lettercutting and stonecarving capacity, de Bruin has worked on conservation projects across Scotland, such as the Fisherman's Monument in Dunbar,[10] the £33 Million restoration of McEwan Hall in Edinburgh,[11] and once appeared on Time Team where she was commissioned to carve an Anglo-Saxon throne extrapolated from a small found fragment,[12] which is now permanently on display in Bamburgh Castle.
