ERIC MICHAELS AMERICANA AND MORE

In the 42 years that I have been a professional artist, I have learned that nature’s beauty and secrets are expressed in all things — from a snowcapped mountain range to a single blade of grass. During that time, I have been fortunate to have lived on the ocean, in the mountains and on the flatlands of America. These paintings are but a small expression of those experiences.

BIOGRAPHY Born and raised in Illinois, Eric Michaels completed his formal studies with a B.F.A in art. After a short stint as a commercial illustrator, he turned full time to easel and plein air painting.

Equally fluent in watercolor, oil and pastel, the most distinctive feature of his work is its international flavor. His subject matter spans four continents and both hemispheres. Painting in these various locations enables him to achieve an understanding of local light conditions and to participate in the native experience. He is also renown for his epic paintings in both the Historical and Western genres.

Eric Michaels is a signature member of the Oil Painters of America, the National Watercolor Society, The Pastel Society of America, Plein Air New Mexico and The Outdoor Painters Society. His paintings hang in private, corporate, museum and state collections including the Albuquerque Museum of Fine Art, the Americana Museum, the Booth Museum, the Haggin Museum, the A.R. Mitchell Museum, the Institute of American Indian Arts, Phillips Petroleum, IBM, Honeywell-Sperry Inc., Puma International, The Latino Arts and Cultural Center and the New Mexico State Governor’s Collection.

He has exhibited at the Royal Watercolour Society in London and has been a regular exhibitor at national shows including Artists of America, the Great American Artists and the Quest for the West exhibition at the Eiteljorg Museum.

Currently based in Michigan, he finds abundant subject matter close to home while extensive worldwide travel also provides him with constant inspiration.
