ARTIST DETAILS:

Michael Birawer

Michael Birawer has brought a new look to the face of urban neighborhoods through his unique style of painting. A combination of graffiti, cartoon, illustration and heavy textures, his paintings have received praise from both art critics and patrons, who describe his work as "one of the best examples of the contemporary revival of urban art.” More recently, Michael has introduced his take on "nature art". Combining bright and bold colors, he guides his brush with the same passion and style as his "architectural" work.

Sue Mooney

Sue Mooney's artistic journey is a testament to the potent intersection of passion and art. Sue worked as an advocate for developmentally disabled clients and individuals affected by HIV/AIDS. Her innate interest in art eventually led her to make a remarkable decision—to leave behind her job and former life and embark on a journey in her camper van to immerse herself in the art circuit. This bold commitment resulted in success and Sue began participating in prestigious shows across the country receiving accolades for her expressive use of color. Notably self-taught, she wields her palette knife to craft pieces that exude her trademark boldness and vibrancy. She continues to push the boundaries of her creativity and invites others to join her on this unfolding journey, where the mesmerizing allure of colors serves as a balm for the soul.
