Artist Michael Malm
Michael
Malm, b. 1972, Salt Lake City, UT (United States)
The
pastoral landscapes that Malm paints are a reflection of his feelings about
rural Utah, about which he says, “I love the old farm communities, the grazing
animals and wide open fields. There is something peaceful about these
settings”. Though he enjoys painting the beautiful valley around him, he has
not limited himself to landscapes, and often includes figures, grazing animals
and still life in his work. A native of Utah, Michael Malm is a painter of
figurative subjects, especially females in western landscape, often with
horses. He has achieved his professional art reputation early, being only 22
when he began and got immediate acceptance in prestigious galleries and won the
Arts for the Parks competition. Malm and his wife, Juanita, decided to stay in
Cache Valley after graduation. They live with their children in a rural area,
where he paints cattle, barns and figures in landscapes. Malm’s preferred
medium is oil and Malm tries to always paint from life. The artist feels the
way he illuminates his subjects is the most important aspect of his work.
