Michael Connors

As an artist, my background includes both classic illustration and academic painting techniques. I have honed my skills to become proficient in working with oil paint and charcoals, which allows me to create realistic imagery that captures the viewer's attention. My style is characterized by a realistic representation of the subject matter, but with a unique twist of incorporating elements of storytelling to convey a deeper message or narrative. I believe that art should not only be visually pleasing but also meaningful and thought-provoking.

My goal as an artist is to use my technical skills to tell a story and engage the viewer on a deeper level. I strive to create art that not only captures the viewer's attention but also makes them think and reflect on the subject matter. I believe that the combination of my technical skills, storytelling abilities, and passion for creating meaningful art allows me to create truly captivating and thought-provoking pieces.
