It is difficult to create uniqueness in our society. What you find in Michael Hall's artwork is an interpretation of life, which is fresh and inspiring. With his distinctive use of rich vivid colors, thick texture and dimensionality, Michael speaks a universal language to which everyone responds.

From an extremely young age, Michael has had an intrinsic response and relation to the arts. He was a singer and a pianist and later became a classical dancer performing with major ballet companies across the United States. In his mid 20s painting became his ultimate passion which soon translated into a professional career. One can see the early influence of music in his "Cosmic Melodies series", the style for which he has received significant, international recognition. There is a mood to each piece and an eminent sense of how Michael's mind orchestrates the brilliant passionate colors, which are then born onto canvas.

Michael's Wildflower series is also thickly textured with radiant colors. This series is inspired by time he spent as a child roaming through the mountains and fields in California.

Michael’s Zen and Pathways abstract expressionist series, are he believes, a result of the natural maturing process that takes place within all life. This series, with its beautiful colorations, has an intrinsic serenity and age old symbolism that sooths the soul.

Michael's paintings are currently sold to private collections throughout the world as well as in galleries such as the Wyland Galleries, Gallery Michelangelo, Oh My Goddard Galleries, Studio 22, Village Galleries, Art One Galleries and The Tate Modern. He has participated in numerous one-man shows, as well as world renowned exhibitions such as Art Expo New York, Los Angeles and Art 21 Las Vegas. Michael has been published by Hallmark, B.V Sunshine, and Poems Art Publishing and was recently selected as on of the official Olympic artists for the 2006 winter games. His credentials also include a degree in Fine Arts from San Jose State University.
