Michael Orwick                                                 

Midway through his college career, Michael took a short sabbatical from his business classes at the University of Oregon.  He moved to Australia for half a year where he filled up sketch pads with drawings and small paintings.  Michael said “the thought of returning to business classes never crossed my mind”. Michael majored in Illustration at Pacific Northwest College of Art and began his professional art career as an animator, moving quickly into illustration where he enjoyed bringing the ideas of others to life.  His fine art paintings are narrative in scope and open to interpretation by those who view them.  “I love creating art that invites you to wander into the painting and weave your own story."
