My name is Michael Norsk.
I am an abstract expressionist painter working with acrylic on canvas. Each of my paintings begin with an emotional foundation tied to a momentary experience. I create from a connection to my immediate and present emotions and feelings.
Artwork
The external focal points of my creations are depth, detail, pattern, texture, and vibrant color. It is my intention that each painting evoke a positive personal connection to emotion within the person viewing my work.
Events and Exhibitions
My work has been shown in galleries throughout the Magic Valley, Treasure Valley, and Idaho Falls. I am currently a guest member of the Idaho Art Gallery. My work has been featured four times as the Boise Weekly cover artist. I am an engaged member of the Treasure Valley Artist Alliance.
Mental Health
For me, mental health is a vital part of my wellbeing; and dare I say the wellbeing of the world. My painting process is therapeutic and calming: facilitating specifically the management of my mind. When I lay paint to canvas, an uninhibited display of emotion, feeling, and thought flows within my soul. My collections, and individual pieces, represent a window into the layers of the journey along my path on the mental health continuum.
