Michael Baum
Paintings of the Open Road
In 1977, with an art degree in my back pocket, I said
good-bye to Ohio, went west, and fell in love. The Western landscape seduced
me, embraced me in its greatness and never let me go.
I live to get out on the road, explore, get
overwhelmed by the landscape, get hollowed out by the experience, take
all the photos I can, make sketches, then get
back in the studio and recreate the experience in paint.
It's a great life.
Baum lives and works in Manitou Springs, Colorado.
Michael Baum specializes in contemporary
representational paintings of the western and southwestern landscape.
He is represented in many private, corporate, and
public collections nationally and internationally.
