About Artist:
“Michael Brennan grew up “always drawing.” By the third grade, he was fascinated by oil painting and drawing. A Salvador Dali art book became one of Michael’s first resources as a budding young artist sealing his love of art.

For Michael, the origin of a painting or mural might begin with a simple sketch on a cocktail napkin. Each idea gets to “work its way through” his brain as he obsesses over an evolving concept. Such obsession eventually brings the parts into a single whole, as Michael tinkers with the construction, painting and other design elements of a piece till the work reaches fruition…

As Michael’s body of work has grown, his art can be experienced in private, corporate and museum collections worldwide. Clients have included Ann & Gordon Getty, O.J. & Gary Shansby, who sponsored Michael and his “Heart” design for the San Francisco Hearts project in 2004 and the Napa Valley Museum of Contemporary Art.
