Quinn Michaels is a 24-year-old, self-taught artist currently residing near Portland, Oregon. From a very young age Quinn's mother, Sharon, also an artist, encouraged him in developing his talents and in his dream of becoming a professional artist. Through Quinn's teenage years he spent his time painting the walls in his bedroom as this was the only way to express the simplistic, colorful world that until then existed only within the confines of his imagination. From his first mural of Odie chasing Garfield, to illustrate that the underdog has a chance, to metaphorical abstract pieces depicting the emotions and hardships that he felt as a teenage boy, art has always been the one venue in which Quinn felt free to express his thoughts, feeling and emotions. At the age of 18 Quinn had all but abandoned his dreams of becoming a painter and focused his attention on pursuing a career as a graphic/web designer. He moved to Los Angeles believing that this career would be the only way that he could make a living using the talents he had previously so passionately directed at his painting through the first 18 years of his life. He blindly hung up his brush and canvas for a keyboard and mouse. After four years working towards his pursuit of this new career Quinn finally acheived the success he desired; however, somewhere during this pursuit he had abandoned his childhood dreams of becoming an artist. Upon contemplation Quinn realized that the path he was following did not provide the endless hours of happness he had experienced in his adolescence. In March of 2002, after two years of pondering how he would move to rekindle his love of art and move towards pursuing his painting career, Quinn decided to take a leap of faith. He left the world he knew in Los Angeles and headed for a new start in Portland, Oregon. Since moving to Oregon Quinn has not only found a renewed love for his painting, but also a completely deeper understanding of the passion he once abandoned and the importance of following his dreams where-ever they may lead. |
