Michael Lumbrazo: Inspired by Nature

"Nature has been for me, for as long as I remember, a source of solace, inspiration, adventure, and delight. I look upon all creatures equally, because all inspire me to paint and share my experiences with others."
Michael Lumbrazo

From an early age Michael was intrigued by drawing and painting, but he soon became fascinated by the sciences as well. His artistic talents took a back seat during his academic career. He studied art education at Syracuse University, and computer science from Suny Institute of Technology specializing in computer programming.
He now paints from nature and finds it as challenging and fulfilling as his computer science career. Michael lives in Oneida, New York with his wife and son. His work features a variety of North Eastern animals. The accuracy of detail and well researched natural settings in his work reflect his attention to the nature that inspires him, as well as a respect for the wildlife and their habitat.
