Michael Creese

I am a painter and illustrator from Pittsburgh, PA.

I paint in the oil impasto style, a technique used in art where paint is laid thickly on canvas, leaving visible brush (or palette knife) strokes. When dry, impasto provides a great deal of texture to the finished painting.

Over the years I have tried my hand at many different themes and a wide variety of art materials, but I always seem to find myself back at the easel with oils on the palette. Oil paints are a true delight to work with and they seem to express themselves effortlessly, as if on their own!
