About Michael Brown

He has also done large art projects in Virginia, West Virginia, New York, Florida, Chicago and Baltimore. While well known and respected as a muralist, Michael's artwork endeavors are currently focused on new explorations of abstract and studio art making.
Artist Statement
How we see makes me curious. When trying to make "Art" I become absorbed in questions about vision that become more and more interesting As I move from one project to the next I try not to repeat myself. This isn't easy and takes me in a lot of different directions. I am working more on having visual discoveries than on making any sort of product. Still, I hope that what comes from my efforts is accessable and interesting to others.

How can I justify spending my time this way? I'm not sure. I have been this way since I was a small child. It is a huge part of who I am. I feel as if I am in good company.
