Artist Hideout

When I first looked at the paintings by artist Michael Story in an email he sent me, I thought they were photoshopped landscape photographs.

But of course, they are the work of an amazing artist, Michael Story. Michael’s work not only shows a beauty of the landscapes painted, but a great understanding of them as well.

Michael shares a little bit about his background below:

Art and music are rooted in my family history. My great uncle and grandmother were jazz musicians, and my grandfather, who was a professional artist, was my first teacher. From a very young age, I knew that I wanted to be an artist so I feel fortunate to have always been encouraged by my family to follow that dream. Starting as a sign painter, working summers during high school, I’ve never wavered from pursuing my goal. In the years since, I’ve followed a career path that has taken me down many roads. From designer to illustrator, portrait artist to landscape painter, I feel as though I’ve come full circle. And today I’m doing what I truly love.
