Artist Michael Wedge creates surrealist images that explore the contrast between urban lifestyles and rural settings. 'My work reflects my curiosity about how viewers relate to their environment,' says Michael. He also delves into themes of time, perception, and emotion, drawing inspiration from the human relationship with technology and nature. Encouraged by his family, he has been drawing and painting for as long as he can remember, developing a distinctive style shaped by the media he uses. Working in a small home studio with natural light, he incorporates photography and digital collaging to craft intuitive, whimsical narratives. In addition to his successful art career, Michael teaches art to 400 kids at a local public school and enjoys woodworking and frisbee.
