Eric Michaels
Michaels was born and raised in
Illinois. As a young boy, he cultivated an early
appreciation for music and art. He spent a great deal of time drawing
sports figures and Disney characters, and studying guitar with an old
vaudeville banjo player. With the folk scene booming in the sixties,
Michaels paid his way through college teaching guitar and performing in
coffeehouses. After graduating with a B.F.A. in art, his wanderlust got
the best of him, so he grabbed his guitar and took off across
North America. For three years, he played clubs, coffeehouses
and universities from Alaska to
Mexico. As the folk scene ebbed in the
seventies, Michaels decided to pursue a new musical venue. He began
studying classical guitar at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. In
1983, on a music tour through the southwest, he and his wife passed
through Santa Fe
and decided to stay.
|
The size and strength of the
Santa Fe art community surprised Michaels, and
within a year he decided to give up his music performances to
concentrate on his art. He did a small bit of commercial illustration to
help pay the bills, and, shortly thereafter, had enough viable galleries
to begin making a living in fine art.
Michaels still loves to travel. His art has taken him to exotic
destinations in Africa, Europe, Central America and
Indonesia. Also loves paints the
surroundings of his home in
Trinidad,
Colorado. |
