Description

This bay on Rough Rock Lake in Ontario, Canada was named by my mentor, Steve Clark. He was canoeing back in the bay when he came across a dead moose floating in the swamp. Not only was he a wonderful painter, he also had a great way with words. The exposed pink granite and the electric moss makes this landscape irresistible to an artist. Everywhere you look, there is a potential painting. There is very little soil on the Canadian Shield, so life takes hold where ever it can. Trees grow out of cracks in the rock and moss grows on rotting piles of jack pine needles. What makes it even more amazing is that this harsh landscape is frozen most of the year.

Michael was born in Madison, WI in 1965. He grew up all over the Midwest, including Minneapolis, MN, Columbus, OH and Chicago, IL. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin in Madison in 1989 with a bachelors of science degree in art. In 1990, he opened a sign business in Delavan, WI that specialized in sandblasted and hand carved signs. It was there in 1995 that he invented the Grain Fraim, an apparatus that when sandblasted through, simulates a wood grain texture in polyurethane foam signboard. This eliminated the need for the scarce and expensive redwood. He still sells these tools, along with other sign related materials.
All along, Michael kept painting Canadian and northern Wisconsin landscapes.
He is an avid fisherman and outdoorsman, and spent a lot of time in the northwoods near Rhinelander, WI, where both of his parents were originally from. He now owns, along with his wife, Mary, Woodhaven Resort, a 5 - cabin family resort on Callahan Lake near Hayward, WI. where he has his studio.
