Seldom does an artist of Michael Brown’s caliber
come along to inspire today’s fast-paced digital world.
Both serene and passionate at once, his images speak from
an ancient universal language of beauty that anyone can
understand and relate to. He fearlessly reaches into his
innermost visions and experiences, finding places that many
humans fear to confront in themselves. Exploring the inner
map of the psyche and the heart, he translates what he finds
into breathtaking imagery that illustrates the journey of
growth and transcendence from the inescapable phenomenon
of human conditioning.
Michael grew up between an older sister and a younger brother
with their parents in Connecticut. He studied religion and
writing at Syracuse University in New York, where he first
grew to appreciate Eastern philosophy and mysticism. He
then moved to Vermont for a few years to commune with the
snowy mountain-tops and fully embody the life of an artist.
He has spent much of his adult life traveling, honing his
artistic skills and his personal growth, and dancing with
the ever-evolving practice of healthier living and coexistence
with nature.
Michael draws inspiration from a wide variety of experiences.
He continues to explore philosophies that have inspired
him, such as Buddhism, Yoga, Vipassana and other forms of
meditation, and dancing under the full moon. He shares his
creative energy with several different communities, such
as the yearly Burning Man festival.
He currently resides with his wife, Violet, and their cat,
Figaro, in San Diego, California.
All of Michael's paintings and drawings are done by hand
without the use of computers or airbrushes.
