Micaela paints and draws on paper, cloth and film. She works in sound, paint, paper, trash, 16 and 8 mm film, burlap, DV and cardboard. She ventured into film when she realized she was constantly trying to make her paintings move.
Her recent day jobs have included adjunct professor, translator for people with severe speech impediments, farm laborer, urology technician, and paranormal videographer. Andrew Martinez (aka The Naked Guy) was O'Herlihy's first boyfriend. She now lives near Viroqua, Wisconsin, and is teaching an unstill life class at the Youth Initiative High School.
