NEW ART We are so pleased to have Michael Norviel display his works of art in the studio. For over forty years Michael has been painting New Mexico’s landscapes as well as portraits, figure studies and still lifes. He has shown primarily in Santa Fe and Albuquerque as well as Scottsdale, New York and Boston. After graduating from the Art Institute of Boston in 1960 He went on to study medical illustration through the Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School program. Michael was Director of Medical Illustration and Photography for the University of New Mexico School of Medicine. Since retiring in 2000, He has been able to devote more time to painting, with his work accepted by numerous juried shows, such as The Masterworks of the Southwest. His palette is rich in Matisse-inspired color - vibrant blues, greens, crimsons and oranges, purples and yellows - a fresh and exciting contemporary approach to the landscapes, figures and still-lifes. All of his paintings have a trace of raw canvas exposed at an edge out of respect for the Navajo weavers tradition of incorporating a 'spirit thread' that allows the spirit of the weaving to come and go ”...to be one with the world. I could do no less for my paintings.” FROM THE FRONT DESK We are continuing to set up artists to temporarily display their art in the studio for a 3-month period.
