Current Artist

I researched acrylic portraits because that is my medium for my portfolio. I found an artist named Michael Wagner with incredible talent and an fantastic eye for creating texture in his paintings. Michael Wagner is an American photo realistic painter from Pennsylvania. He was born in 1958 and studied Fine Arts and Graphic Design. He then became a police officer, but later returned to art. In 2015, Michael had his first solo show at the Love Art Gallery in East Norwalk, Connecticut.

Master Artist

Sir Thomas Lawrence, he began painting professionally as a ten year old, supporting his family with his oil portraits. At eighteen he went to London and established his reputation as a portrait painter in oils, receiving his first royal commission, a portrait of Queen Charlotte, in 1790. He stayed at the top of his profession until his death, aged 60, in 1830.
