Michael Garvey - Artist



My good friend Michael Garvey.
Michael is an Artist.
Quoting from his site;
I started painting in 1991 to convalesce at the passing of my Mother, who had passed away the year before.
among m earliest inspiration was a friend of my Mother's called Nellie Gordon, who despite being severely disabled with Multiple Sclerosis and wheelchair bound still managed to paint with the aid of an arm splint.
I then went on to study at Walthamstow Art College from 1995 - 1997, with a view to go on to University, but i then decided the scholarly route was not for me.
My art and ides are strongly based around my personal as well as an interest in a variety of a subjects from contemporary life and my political views to my vegetarianism. Most aspects of life past and present interests me, such as images captured on mobile phones and web cams, to the bold colours on advertising.
I love using still life in a different way by using objects that you wouldn't normally use such as, old records and various items to bring about memories and feelings, also everyday items that we use such as chairs, plates and cups.
music plays a massive part in my art. Drawing and painting blues, jazz and rock performers.
Visits to Cornwall and the South Coast have been a big influence as well as Barcelona. This influenced my use of colour and gave me a bolder attitude and approach to my art.
  
Michael recently can be known for his work when he produced his work on Author Georgina Hannan's first released Cursed
Michael did flawless work and Georgina was real pleased with his work. Michael is truely inspiring with his visions and should be known for his workings. You'll also find his work this year on both my books Chasing Fears and The Alliance of my
A Broken Paradise Series as he designed the interior pages to both books. Here's some of his workings.




Keep ya posted :)
