"The son of an Air Force officer I moved around quite a bit. While still in high school, I won an emerging artists award in Savannah, Georgia.

My Bachelor of Arts degree was earned at Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Missouri. While there, I exhibited at the William Rockhill Nelson Museum. Throughout my undergraduate years, I created portraits and sold other artworks to earn money for medical school.

I studied art briefly at the Ecole nationale superieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France.

I was graduated from the University of Alabama School of Medicine in 1968. Internship and residency in general surgery in San Antonio followed, thence a research fellowship in gastrointestinal surgery in Salt Lake City.

Thereafter, a 25-year combined medical and military career in the US Air Force ensured. I rose to the rank of Brigadier General, last serving as Commander Surgeon for Strategic Air Command. My highest decoration was the AF Distinguished Service Award.

Through it all, I continued to paint and to exhibit. There were showings at the Torpedo Factory, Alexandria, Virginia, and at the Coleman Gallery, York, Alabama. I won the All-Air Force Art Competition in the late eighties. I took leave for studies with Martha Mayer Ehrlebacher, Anthony Ryder, and other artistic mentors.

Leaving the service in 1992, I became chairman of surgical services at Presbyterian in Dallas. My family and I moved to Shreveport in 1996 at the behest of the Biomedical Research Foundation. When that grant work ended, the Tormas had already decided to call Shreveport home. Working in the Willis-Knighton Health System in wound care and hyperbaric medicine, I wound up my medical career in 2012.

Now I devote myself full time to the pursuit of Mike Torma artworks. Juried works have qualified me for the "Roster" [signature] appellation through Shreveport Regional Arts Council, and the highest exhibition tier with Bossier Art Council."
