Michael Orwick

Visual Artist

After 2 years of college as a business major, Michael jumped at the chance to move to Australia for half a year, where he filled up sketch pads with drawings and small paintings. Returning to the states, he moved to Portland, Oregon, where he majored in Illustration at Pacific Northwest College of Art. 

He took an internship with Will Vinton Studios (now Laika Studio), but, after a few years as an illustrator his true passion as an oil painter prevailed, and he began a career as a full-time oil painter. He loves creating art that invites you on a journey to form a story and explore your world within.

Michael and his wife Gaby have a creative and inquisitive daughter that has kept him in touch with his perpetual inner child (please see O2 to see the work we do together).

On a typical day, you can find him working in his home studio or outside painting Plein-air in some beautiful location.  He also teaches oil painting and gives seminars.

As a native Oregonian, he cannot separate his art from his love of the Pacific Northwest.  The coast, mountains, and meadows, each infused with mysterious light and atmosphere, weave narratives into their settings.  He loves to tell their stories with his paint and brush strokes.  Inspiration comes so naturally here. Michael works on personal projects for the galleries, as well as on commissioned paintings for clients, whether for private, corporate, or civic displays.  

A few years ago he, his wife,  and daughter, took the year off from “real life” to travel the world.  They visited twenty-one countries and painted with over 500 inspiring children from various orphanages and schools as part of their cause, which they called Studio Everywhere.
