About Michael Wallace

Thank you to All working so hard on the front line. I am a self taught abstract expressionist. Exhibiting over time with several galleries, my goal is to create engaging, innovative and relevant paintings. I hope to extend art awareness and enjoyment to a diverse audience. Often the paintings I make are spontaneous. Other times my goal for a particular piece is more predetermined. My technique involves acrylic and mixed media. I combine color on canvas as I paint, and the idea of merging drawing with painting is among my favorite practices. Painterly disciplines such as Expressionism, Abstract Expressionism, Impressionism, and Surrealism influence me. Many of my original drawings and paintings are found in collections across the United States, Europe, and Asia. A Certificate of Authenticity ships with each painting along with background information about the making of the piece. All work is ready to exhibit. Thanks for taking a look.
