Oil Paintings and Pastels by Michael Meissner

Art of Michael Meissner

I grew up in the northeast on a small farm and started drawing and painting at a very early age.  Art was a primary focus through school and I went on to study graphic design in Florida.  While building a graphic design studio I continued to paint and illustrate for commercial and personal clients.  With the encouragement from world-renowned Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame artist, Joe Bowler and some other mentors, my fine art blossomed through commissions and gallery sales.  More recently painting has become a full-time pursuit taking to the road and sharing my work at art festivals and shows nationwide. 

Drawing on Nature

My passion for art started with a love of wildlife and grew with travel and time to landscapes. Color pushes the narrative with art that appears as realism from a distance and Impressionism up close. Driven by a desire to bring spectacular settings to canvas for all to see and enjoy, and hopefully pass along a connection of reverence and appreciation of nature to others.
