Bio
Mick's approach is based in his declared freedom to allow the colors, shapes, mediums and materials he's using to determine where and how much they are seen in the artwork he is developing.
"In a studio working session I'm always mindful of how the various elements might work together in a larger piece to create not simply the sum of its parts but a work that's finding a voice of its own."
His emerging success in the art world has been considerable. In 2015, he captured and shaped the five lead story portraits for The Museum of Latin American Art in the THEA award winning "Transformations." In 2016, he produced 9 new works, "Acrylics on Glass," for the Los Angeles POP Gallery and in 2017 he was worked with Environ Architecture for the branding and visual installation works for "Think Here," a new Los Angeles commercial building by Joon Choi. In 2020, he produced and curated “Photovarious," an exhibition of 9 artists and 35 works that clearly stretched the boundaries of the modern photography medium.
In 2019 and 2021 he spent extended stays in Paris, France for personal solo work, a gallery exhibition and collaborative work with a private Marais based guild in painting and sculpture. He was also offered a residency at Monet's Gardens in Giverny, France. In 2024 Mick successfully exhibited his work for two noted Saatchi exhibitions at the Santa Monica, CA and in the Spring of 2025 he will introduce ”The Tea Papers” at a solo gallery show in Santa Barbara, CA. His studio practice is located in a 1200 Sq ft space in Los Angeles where he works on both private and commercial projects.
