Esteemed local artist Michael Dowling brings the beauty of our Catholic faith to life with the stroke of a paintbrush. His stunning depiction of Our Lady will stir the hearts and minds of all who look upon her. Michaels art can also be found locally at the Crawford hotel in Union station, at the Maven hotel in the dairy block and in our own hallway of Our Lady of Lourdes. Were grateful to Michael for donating a beautiful work of art for the third consecutive year at Our Lady of Lourdes Gala!

Image shown is work in progress. Finished painting to be presented at live auction 3/2/19.

Born in Denver in 1972, Michael Dowling spent much of his early life as a typical kid apart from being an obsessive drawer. It wasn't until the age of 25, and after several years studying various subjects as well as working in many fields, that Michael started painting. With that late beginning, Dowling dove full in and began studying extensively. At 28, he decided to sell a burgeoning art sales company and moved to Florence, Italy to focus on painting. He has since returned to his native Denver where he lives with his childhood love and three delightful children who attend Our Lady of Lourdes.

Michael is represented in:
Colorado by K Contemporary
Chicago by Studio 6F

His work has been featured in the films "the Frame" and "Ink".

Michael has worked with and shown at the Museum of Contemporary art Denver and Denver Art Museum, and has work in several private and public collections both nationally and throughout Europe.
