BIO

Michael Paige Glover grew up in north Alabama, and from a young age, he acutely recorded the moments of his childhood by analyzing the colorful characters and events that surrounded him.

He spent his undergraduate years at Harding University (Searcy, AR), and had the opportunity to study abroad for a semester in Florence, Italy. He was immediately inspired by the abundance of art and architecture throughout the region of Tuscany and the rest of Europe. His travels throughout Europe would greatly influence his journey towards art-making.

After graduating with a B.S. in Graphic Design, he took two years off and eventually enrolled at the New York Academy of Art, where he earned an MFA in Figurative Painting.

He was awarded a month-long residency at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, VT, and afterwards, he moved to Brooklyn, NY where he maintained a studio for 10 years, sold paintings and exhibited in group exhibitions.

His passion for painting and drawing naturally merged with his love for pen & ink, as he became obsessed with the world of illustrated novels and sequential storytelling. His inspiration is derived from a deep well of childhood memories, and the people and places that shaped his life.

He works as a freelance artist/designer, adjunct Art History Instructor and lives in the Hudson Valley region of New York with his wife, daughter and their rescue terrier.
