Michael Harnish (b. 1982) lives and works in Fullerton, CA. Utilizing imagery pulled from various sources including iphone photos, botanical books, fashion magazines, and commercial signage in his native Southern California, Harnish begins his painting process by first making paper collages. These collages then become the inspiration for his paintings—sometimes accurate depictions of the original collage, other times improvisation takes the lead once the brush hits the canvas. Having received his MFA from the Laguna College of Art and Design in 2010, he has continued to practice and show regionally in California.
