Mike Hale

“…my objective has always been to innovate an individual identity—a style, a medium, a technique, a viewpoint that is distinctively my own.”

“For those who appreciate art, there is nothing more satisfying than variety—the opportunity to view diverse expressions in technique and style. But, for the artist—and me, in particular—it’s quite the opposite. While appreciating artistic expression in all its forms, my objective has always been to innovate an individual identity—a s tyle, a medium, a technique, a viewpoint that is distinctively my own. My goal has always been to create a lifetime body of work that will stand out, be recognized and appreciated as a one-of-a-kind ‘Mike Hale.’ To achieve this, I continually push the material boundaries in composition, technique and the application of media. Looking back, my time spent painting smaller works on paper served as a prologue to my larger pieces. The spontaneity and uninhibited approach to those pieces allowed me to experiment at little cost. Along the way, I discovered methods and materials that have become intrinsic elements of my later, larger works.”
