Hello My name is Michael John Valentine and I have been involved making art for over 55 years. I started off at 10 years old at an art institute in Ohio and completed my education at Kent State University with a Bachelors of Fine and Professional Arts Degree.
I have always beed fascinated by photography and spent a great deal of time doing things in the old school dark rooms with film.
I love the way acrylic paints set up vs the long dry time of oils. Canvas is my go to mixed media surface since it lets me gallery wrap or send out my work in a tube.
I have an actual studio/gallery in Cornelius North Carolina Lake Norman.
Mixed Media suggests that photography, canvas and acrylics all meet up for original abstract works of art.
It’s not uncommon for me to blend 3-8 photos together of places I have traveled with my cameras. The work you are seeing always starts with my original photography. I have had numerous awards and magazines publish my work. My website uses this catch phrase ” Imaginative Photography to Abstract Modern Art”.
I print in house on a commercial canvas printer and control the entire process from beginning to end. You can expect this print to be on the same exhibition quality canvas as the original. It will be signed on the front in a giclee/print manner and I will also sign the back.
Once the painting is complete the canvas is glazed with a subtle sheen to protect the painting so that it lasts a lifetime.
It is not framed because it goes in a protective glassine sleeve and ships in a heavy duty tube. This process assures you that it arrives undamaged . By shipping this way you can take it to a framing shop and have it mounted and framed to your liking. A certificate of authenticity accompanies this acrylic painting.
