Michael Creese | Surrealist painter

American painter🎨 Michael Creese was born in Chicago, Illinois, and moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with his family at the age of seven.

While in school, he developed a keen interest in art and drawing, and was greatly encouraged by his high school art teachers to pursue his passions.

Michael’s interest in drawing quickly progressed to a fascination with painting.

After being accepted at several different universities, including the Pratt Institute of New York, Michael began his formal art training at Carnegie Mellon University, in Pittsburgh, where in 1981 he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.

Michael paints in the oil impasto style, a technique used in art where paint is laid thickly on canvas, leaving visible brush/palette knife strokes.

When dry, impasto provides a great deal of texture to the finished painting. He also works with several other mediums in addition to oils, most notably watercolors.

Only high quality artist's materials, permanent lightfast pigments, archival canvas mounted on solid wood stretcher bars, and acid-free watercolor papers are used in the creation of his work.

Michael’s work has been sold in print form by major art distributors and retailers, featured in the work of interior designers, and sold as ceramic and marble tile murals.

His original oil on canvas paintings are purchased by collectors throughout the United States, as well as internationally.

He is currently a member of the National Oil and Acrylic Painters' Society.
