Michael's Story
Life
I've done a lot of different things in the last 30 years, but the one constant has been my artwork, it is my first and most long lasting passion. I'm a professional fine artist (painting and drawing) and a high school fine art teacher.
I've created over 300 paintings and hundreds of drawings in the last 25 years, selling quite a few, while working as a graphic designer, illustrator, fine artist and now art teacher. With an art company in Albuquerque, Opp Art Inc., I worked with some amazing artist creating murals, fauve finishing, commercial graphics, signage and 3 dimensional art for businesses all over the country. One of the most interesting jobs was the "Imus Ranch for Kids with...Expand for more
Cancer" in northern New Mexico. We spent two years making a newly built 3,000 acre cattle ranch, with a complete western town, for this eccentric (and that is putting it mildly) New York talk show host look like it had been built a 100 years ago. We have also created artwork in casinos in Chicago, Las Vegas, Reno, Shreveport and Memphis and resturants all over the county. It was fun then we started getting older and decide to get off the road and stay closer to home.
I taught drawing, painting, art fundamentals, art theory and art history in a rural high school north of Albuquerque for several years. I'm now a full time artist and continue to create and market my paintings and drawings.
