Bid NOW on this awesome Mixed Media 48"x30" Abstract Piece called Purge. This is influenced by the monstrous transitions forced upon the victims of the Carr Fire, depicting the before and after of a neighborhood once known with memories and experiences vividly engrained in the mind, now are completely changed, unrecognizable and sadly almost gone! Some still live with the torment of seeing the smoke column or wondering if they are next, to those I wish, bid on this painting, for this too shall pass! All of his pieces are custom, original, non-duplicated, manually completed pieces that grow in value. He creates these simple designs with limited application and a lot of heart! He uses many mixed media styles. Michael Karns was born and raised in Wisconsin. After graduating with his bachelor's degree in graphic design and illustration, he headed west to work for Disney. He made a pit stop in Chico, California and fell in love with the untamed natural beauty of Northern California. Michael and his wife, Lisa, own an award-winning screen print company located in Redding, California. Michael has been featured in several art galleries across Northern California as well as Oregon. His artwork falls in the abstract/mixed media category. He uses several different application styles for his artwork including pouring, splattering, controlled throws, as well as intermixing sand and sawdust for added texture. Michael says, "Think of modern-day cave painting!" The sand adds a 3D element to separate the foreground and the background. Michael's artistic style allows the viewer to develop their own understanding and comprehension of the art piece. Look for their Surf Ninja Brand shirts all over the world, tag them if you see them!
