Michael Larry Simpson

Michael Larry Simpson began his Panel Series in 2007. This work begins with individual plywood panels that Simpson colors, draws, stains and burnishes to express his impressions of the people, environs and design that he encounters daily. Those panels are then re-considered and constructed in multiples to create new visual narratives expressing his visions of our world.

Simpson studied Art History, Studio Art and Economics at the College of William and Mary, and continued his art studies at the School of Visual Arts and the Art Student's League in New York City. Simpson has worked as a Fine Fragrance Executive and Artist in New York City, Amsterdam and London and now resides in the Hudson Valley where he paints and manages OK Fine Fragrances, an indie brand he co-founded in 2019. His work resides in private collections across the US and Europe.
