Don Michael, Jr. is an artist living and working in the Las Vegas area.

Don has known he was going to be an artist since he was 4 years old. Adults found that the best way to keep him out of trouble was to give him something to create with and he'd be a good boy for hours. That continues to this day, as his family can attest.

After getting his BA at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma, Don worked as a graphic designer in television, which grew into the roll of Art Director. Don worked for television stations in Oklahoma City, OK, Norfolk, VA and finally in Las Vegas. Over the years, Don's work was recognized with several industry awards, including an EMMY.

Even while working as a graphic designer by day, Don continued to pursue his passion for fine art - often creating into the wee hours while his family was sleeping. His hard work and dedication paid off as many of his works have been juried into national exhibitions and publications, often garnering awards.

Don is now a full-time fine artist working out of his studio in North Las Vegas. He continues to do graphic design as a freelancer, but focuses most of his time painting and creating with acrylics.
