About Mic
Mic Carlson, eclectic artist whose passions for life and
art are vividly seen in his colorful canvas. His work has
a sense of many artists. By experimenting with his palette,
Mic entices the viewer to his own originality known as Micart.
His colorful personality allows him to explore many avenues
and search to express in unlimited mediums and breathe the
life of artistic freedom.
Traveling throughout Europe, Mic studied and learned from
the works of old masters. He studied and painted in Italy
and Greece in 1995, living in Marsciano, Italy, learning history,
and religion in art under Reverend Terry Atkinson. He also
visited the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and France. In 1999,
Mic returned to Europe with his mate Susan Evangelista and
created a colorful heartfelt 100 page hard cover book of their
travels, titled "Europe, Our Overseas Adventure".
Mic has continued to travel, photographing Europe and the
United States from New York to Portland, Oregon. Mic is a
prolific artist visiting libraries and museums, never limiting
his possibilities, learning from people long gone, his loving
family and his many friends that surround him. Mic's commissioned
portraits reside in many businesses in the Grand Rapids area.
His work is also finding its way into many private collections
throughout the United States and Europe. He recently completed
a ten month restoration project of world renowned artist Mathias
Alten's mural, in a Grand Rapids home which was featured on
a national television broadcast. The program called "If
Walls Could Talk" appeared on HGTV.
