Mike Wright Art

b. 1959

Mike Wright was born in 1959 in Northern California. He is a painter of landscapes and architectural subjects in watercolor, acrylic and oil. His landscapes reflect a lifelong love of the outdoors and a deep connection with the desert. Wright is an avid backpacker, hiker and long-distance runner and has taken many trips to the Southwest to paint plein air. His major art influences include Maynard Dixon and Jimmy Swinnerton. Wright's mother was a college art teacher, so he was exposed to good art and learned theory and technique from an early age. He earned a BA from Sacramento State University in 1983. Wright lives in Santa Cruz, California, and travels every year to paint the desert.

This painting is unframed, canvas on gator board, the price reflects that it is unframed. ​ ABOUT THE ARTIST: Lu Haskew 1921-2009 "Life is good to me. Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist. Being fortunate to study with some of the artists I admire has kept me painting from the garden, people and my favorite things. With the support of galleries, teaching and doing demos, how could I do anything else? My goal is to try to be the best I can be by always being a student, looking for new ideas and stretching my horizons." Upon retirement from a 33-year teaching career, Lu rented a studio in Loveland and began concentrating on her oil and watercolor painting. Learning from artists she had followed and admired throughout the years her painting became a full time career that lasted 17-years.
