Artist Michael Fitzpatrick
Michael
Fitzpatrick - Figurative
painter.started his
art career in the mid sixties by attending Art Center College of Design in L.A.
After graduating he went to work for D’Arcy, McManus, Masius Advertising in New
York as an art director. Next he moved back to the coast where he started and
ran his own ad agency: Fitzpatrick and Walker adv. Drawing and design were
always a large part of Michael’s daily activity. In New York it was drawing
storyboards for TV ads by the hundreds. In California design and illustration
were the emphasis. All this commercial activity was only a backdrop for
Michael’s real love – painting. In the early nineties he broke away from the
nine to five and did his fine art in earnest. Painting virtually every day
since. He has many collectors around the world, and shows in galleries in Napa
Valley and Sausalito. He held the prestigious position as resident painter at
Domain Chandon for two years. Michael paints in oil in a traditional style
allowing him to fully utilize his classical training. While mostly he paints
figurative, still – life and landscape are also very much represented in his
body of work.
