Michael Ferguson

The veteran comic-narrative painter Michael Ferguson has long charmed regional audiences with his tiny people in overwhelming natural settings such as forests, glens and lakes. Diminutive and elegant, his vision of nature is calibrated to appeal, not warn; his representations of wild animals and hunting-and-fishing enthusiasts are warm and understanding. Besides winning awards in numerous exhibitions, Ferguson has been featured at the US embassy in Djakarta as well as in group shows in New York, Florida and Wyoming, among others.
