About Michael

Michael

Michael Colpitts is a multi-talented artist whose works are a reflection of his extensive travels and deep meditation practices. He expresses his experiences in both mixed media painting and ceramic sculpture, captivating viewers with his distinctive style. In his abstract mixed media paintings, Michael employs various materials such as gesso, papers, fabrics, and charcoal to create a rich, textured feel. His works are characterized by a luminous quality achieved through the use of thick oil colors, acrylic washes, and transparent oil washes.

Sumati Colpitts

Sumati Colpitts, Michael’s wife, is an accomplished ceramic sculptor known for her lifelike animal sculptures. She has a gift for capturing the essence of her subjects, bringing them to life with vibrant personality. As a trained massage therapist, Sumati has a keen sense of touch, which she uses to create textures and patterns that add depth and movement to her sculptures. Her pieces, including elephants, beavers, bunnies, and more, exude motion and joy, seemingly cavorting within the gallery space.
