Dec2021_Jan2022 Art Exhibit

Michael began his art career working as a printmaker and primarily in black and white and pen and ink. In the late ‘90s, color and oil paint became his new exploration. He studied historical painting techniques, using encaustic, egg tempera, and fresco as well as glazing techniques. Now using brilliant and vivid colors, he creates his own visual language, with the intent to engage his audience in the creative process. His work is an exploration of his subconsciousness pushing formal training to create a psychedelic experience. He creates personal psychological characters that seem to be ancient at the same time as present, allowing others to create the narrative in the paintings. He continues to work with alternative media, including ceramics, printmaking and hand painted clothing. The exhibit may be viewed during regular library hours.
