Michael S. Parkes - Paintings

Michael S. Parkes is an artist and writer living in Eastern Washington. Born, January 17, 1955 in Blackshear, Georgia. He began his education at the Georgia Institute of Technology in architecture, and finished studies at the University of Georgia in graphic design. He has worked as an art director and graphic designer for nationally recognized advertising agencies and corporate marketing departments since 1977. He is currently exhibiting his art online.

Exhibits & awards: Michael Parkes has exhibited through many art shows and galleries in the southeast, from the late 80’s into the 90’s, and has received numerous awards for his prints, etchings and drypoints.

In the artist's own words, "I have focused on location paintings in the “plein aire” tradition. Paintings which are accomplished in one session, capturing a particular moment of mood in nature. This endeavor has led to a growing collection of hundreds of paintings (with more added daily!) which are currently on exhibit at http://mparkes.com. I hope my efforts provide a glimpse into the mystery of this life that surrounds us... the daily unfolding mystery that is our existence."
