Michael Perez

Michael Perez  was born in Los Angeles California.  Ever since he can remember he has always been enthralled with both looking at and taking photos.  His mom and aunts always had cameras and took hundreds of snap shots.  

 
At the age of 9, when his mother, who also loved taking photos, recieved a newer model Kodak 110, she gave him her old one.   From there that 110 went everywhere: to his 5th grade classroom,  picnics,  family events.  But with what money would he develop the film?   No problem!  Michael would walk around his apartment complex collecting and returning glass bottles, earning a nickle and a dime here and there.  When he had just enough, he would walk down to the Thrifty's drug store, fill out the photo envelope, and wait a week to a week 1/2 for his pictures to come back.  

 
He considers himself an amateur photographer, and has only recently discovered the power of using the medium to express his innately creative nature.  He knows he has a good eye, and is now taking the time to focus on learning the craft photography and exploring his potential.  Basically having fun capturing life from time to time. His ultimate dream is to pursue a new career as a photographer

Sometimes I succumb to whimsy by creating these cute, simple, little dragons in different poses. These are made with 32 gauge wire and different sizes and shapes of glass beads.

The Sunday River Covered Bridge is commonly called the Artist’s Bridge.

The bridge, built in 1872, is a 100-foot structure that spans the Sunday River in western Newry in the state of Maine. The unnamed artist is John Enneking, one of America’s first impressionists. Before Enneking became a painter, he was Union soldier in the Civil War, who was captured and held as a prisoner of war. After the war ended, he relocated to Boston and threw himself into his craft. He eventually became one of the first Americans to paint in Monet’s garden (which boasts its own singular overpass, the iconic Japanese bridge over the pond of water lilies).

Upon returning to the states, Enneking became a specialist in New England landscapes, rendering the mountains and bridges of the region in loose brushstrokes and rich hues. He was fond of Newry and came often to paint in plein air by the side of the bridge. He was seen working in the structure’s vicinity so often that passersby began referring to the Sunday River bridge as the Artist’s Bridge. Today, a hundred years after Enneking’s death, both his paintings and the name endure.

Everyone has an idea of living on a desert island in the sun living off of fish and coconuts for free. I really Lived that way for a decade in the 80's.

An original watercolor painted plein air while I sat on the beach with my Mom in Falmouth, MA. Woodneck is one of our favorite beaches that we frequent in the summer. There's nothing better than sitting out in the sunshine getting a tan and painting the beautiful scenery. I spent many summers in Cape Cod with my family and it has become one of my favorite places to sit and paint.

This was a portrait request by a college friend. I did two of her cats for her. This was when I thought I could only paint dogs... then I painted her cats.
