About

Dr. George Michaels, a name once synonymous with groundbreaking genomics research, traded his lab coat for paint-splattered overalls, embarking on an unexpected yet deeply resonant artistic journey.

For years, George meticulously explored the intricate dance of molecules and the elegant order of biological systems; however, a persistent creative yearning, long simmering beneath the surface of scientific inquiry, finally demanded expression.

George’s Missouri studio is a vibrant echo of his former laboratory. Canvases replace microscopes, and pigments stand in for reagents, yet the spirit of experimentation remains his unwavering guide. He approaches painting with the same rigorous curiosity, meticulously testing the interactions of different media, inventing novel application techniques, and fearlessly exploring unconventional materials. His pieces, often abstract and richly textured, reflect a unique lens of scientific observation and artistic intuition.

Each piece becomes a visual hypothesis, an exploration of color, form, and the unpredictable beauty that emerges from the deliberate act of creation. George’s evolution from scientist to painter is not a departure, but rather a fascinating continuation of his lifelong pursuit of discovery and invention, now expressed through the captivating language of art.
