Michael Steirnagle - Biography

Michael Steirnagle

Moving between left and right brain (form and content), Michael finds pleasure in both worlds. Usually utilizing the figure as his subject, Michael seeks to find a comfortable balance between these two opposing forces, unconsciously letting life events and emotions affect the end result. He finds the painting experience to be a total immersion in a sea of lush paint and color which, hopefully, evolve into a pleasurable and meaningful experience for the viewer.

Michael divides his time between his studio in Southern California and Costa Rica where he has a second home. See the Costa Rica page for more information and rental information.
