Michael O'Guinn is a self-taught abstract artist who connects with the fluidity and freedom creating art provides. His work tends to be a series of quick choices made in the moment, often influenced by music or memories. He creates both "process art" - more subdued monochromatic pieces focused on layering paints and creating textures - and "higher energy painting" with dynamic brush strokes, bold colors, and sometimes graffiti-like markings. Ultimately, Mike's goal in creating is to connect with people at a personal level and evoke enjoyment in his audience.
