Sometimes it's easier to practice using the most basic resource you have: Yourself. This is a collection of self-portraits I have done over the years showing different moods, personae, and using varying techniques. Like dreams, to some extent, these characters all exist within you - they ARE you. It's just a matter of bringing them into the light.

Biography
Michael E. Voss is a contemporary American artist. His work serves as a powerful conduit for revealing the beauty that surrounds us, inspiring joy, and stirring the world from complacency. With a profound commitment to his craft, he aspires to evoke compassion and empathy, igniting a transformation in the hearts of humanity towards greater goodness.
In his art, Michael directs attention to the hidden, labels falsehoods that lurk in the shadows, and tears away the blinds that obscure truth and beauty. He endeavors to shed light on ignorance, injustice, intolerance, and inequity perpetuated by societal facades, unveiling the raw realities beneath.
Michael's artistic mission extends beyond the canvas as he aims to engage his viewers in critical dialogues that nurture human dignity, champion social justice, advocate for global equality, and prioritize planetary health. His art is a catalyst for meaningful discussions that hold the potential to effect positive change.
In the pursuit of self-preservation, Michael E. Voss channels subconscious imagery from within, allowing it to flow freely and nurturing self-forgiveness through his creative expression.
His artistic journey reflects a unique blend of influences, drawing inspiration from both the wisdom of old masters and the innovation of contemporary artists, as well as the realms of mythology and psychology. While he has received formal training in the sight/size realism technique, Michael's artistic spirit thrives on experimentation, often crafting his own tools to explore new methods and avenues of creative expression.

I'm among 18 artists fortunate enough to have been chosen to be part of The Connect Residency, which invites participants from around the world to create new projects or innovate existing ones.
In my past five weeks as a Resident, I have pushed my He, She, They, Them Series further, moving from black and white monotone linocut prints to full color.
On May 3, the works we create during the Residency will open to the public at DragonFLY Gallery Chicago through May 31. Here's the video announcement.
Illinois people, come on out for a fun evening in town!
The Connect Residency is a Chicago-based international program that selects a new cohort of Residents each year. Under the guidance of Founder and Director Hollie Davis, the Residency fosters a vibrant, creative atmosphere dedicated to supporting emerging artists.

Such a wonderful painting.
It's actually a one-of-a-kind large-scale multi-impression linocut block print, hand-carved and hand-pressed oil on fabric panel with gallery wrap.
Thanks, and glad you like it!
