Michael Potashnik

Michael Potashnik is a fine artist living in McLean, Virginia. He began his career as a plein air landscape painter  shifting to abstract expressionist painting several years ago.  His  collective works reveal an evolution in styles and motifs inspired by artists such as  Kandinsky, Klee, Miro,  Delaunay, Mondrian,  and artists of today.
This selection of Potashnik’s paintings exhibit brilliant color combinations and complex biometric  representational and geometric  forms, within a variety of spacial relationships. 
A signature member of the Virginia Watercolor Society, his painting have been juried into many shows and are found in the Heritage Gallery and the McLean Art Society Gallery.  Potashnik also teaches art  in McLean.

I have a BA from the University of California, Berkley, and a PhD in History from the University of California Los Angeles.

I have exhibited my paintings at a wide variety of shows in Washington, DC, Virginia and Maryland.
